About Mackenzie

Mackenzie Willingham

 (she/her)

THERAPIST

Hi! My name is Mackenzie, and I am a Pre-Licensed Clinician. Recently, I moved from Alaska to Tennessee, where I am eager to start working with clients! I graduated from Liberty University with my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am pursuing licensure as an LPC-MHSP.

While working towards my degree, I found my calling of being a therapist and working with clients with anxiety, self-esteem, trauma. I have experience working with adolescents in crisis, active-duty military, veterans, and family members of the military population. As a previous active-duty spouse,I understand the complications that the military lifestyle can throw at you.

I see adults (18+) and couples but am open to working with families if they feel I’m the right fit. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to retrain the brain and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) with  couples. My previous clients found my humor, empathy, and passion for therapy to be immensely valuable to their experience, and I would love to work with you and show how, you too, can improve your mental health.
