MCKENZIE IVERSON

Therapy is about creating a safe bond between client and therapist. That acceptance is the strongest indicator for healing. With a strong relationship as our foundation, we can explore the depths of your experience and identify which parts of you need a helping hand out of the trauma you've experienced and lead them to safety in the present.

Safely explore every part of your experience as a human on this Earth: your emotions, your experiences, your likes and dislikes, your insecurities and fears, and the parts of you that you may struggle with. Instead of turning our back on these parts, we seek to understand and lend a helping hand of compassion and love to bring them to healing with us.

Attentive, empathetic, non-judgmental, present, humorous, validating, and open. I aim to make our sessions feel deeply human and secure.

I specialize in working with people who are from all walks of life. I have a passion for people struggling with complex trauma as well as strong emotions, low self-worth, shame, toxic relationships, anxiety, body dysmorphia, BPD, and more.

I have been on the other side of the couch as a human with my own struggles, and I know how much of an impact a good clinician can make in the process of healing. I do not take the responsibility of the relationship between therapist and client lightly. I find it so amazing to be a part of people's journeys as their therapist.

I work from a relational lens and try to create a deeply human space in therapy sessions. Wherever we go from there, the trusting and secure relationship will always come first. I also understand that trauma work must also include play, movement, music, nature, and everything in between. These are included often in our journey.
