Mackenzie Clark, MA, LAC

Beginning your healing journey can be a daunting process. With that in mind, Kenzie is committed to providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, challenges, values and aspirations. Kenzie believes no two concerns are the same and she tailors her approach to fit each individual.

Kenzie has a Master's in Counseling Psychology and has worked in a variety of mental health care settings including Long Term/Inpatient Care Facilities and Community Mental Health. These experiences have allowed her to develop a well-rounded view of various complex issues with couples, families and individuals of all ages navigating depression, relationship concerns, grief, anxiety, and trauma.

As a Certified Trauma Professional Kenzie understands that the aftermath of negative life experiences can present in a variety of ways, often impacting clients relationships with themselves and others. Kenzie has a passion for helping clients to not only cope with these negative experiences, but supports and empowers them to take back their power and control of their lives.  

Kenzie believes that we have what we need to heal already inside of us, and because of this she uses a strengths-based approach- acknowledging that her clients have made it this far on their own.

Kenzie integrates several therapeutic theories to address client concerns from a holistic point of view.  These therapies include DBT, a behavioral therapy helping clients develop coping skills to manage daily stressors, strengthen relationships and become more aware of what we have to accept versus what is in our power to change in our lives. Kenzie also uses trauma-informed and biobased theories like Internal Family Systems and Polyvagal theory to help clients understand both the biological and cognitive mechanisms underlying their experiences, fostering self-acceptance and understanding.

She integrates Existential theory to help clients find meaning and build lives aligned with their ideal and true selves—filled with purpose, connection, and hope- by guiding clients in uncovering their inner strengths, confronting challenges, and embracing meaningful choices.

Clients working with Kenzie can expect a collaborative and compassionate experience focused on their unique goals for treatment.  Kenzie practices out of the Gilbert location and looks forward to walking alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
