What to Expect in Therapy

Beginning therapy can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Makenna understands that asking for help takes courage and strives to create an environment where you feel comfortable, respected, and supported from your very first session.

During your initial appointments, you'll spend time discussing your current concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals for therapy. Together, you'll identify what is most important to you and create a plan that fits your unique needs and circumstances.

Makenna believes therapy is most effective when it feels like a partnership. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, sessions explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences that may be contributing to your struggles. Along the way, you'll develop practical coping strategies, healthier ways of thinking, and greater confidence in managing life's challenges.

Whether you're working through anxiety, grief, depression, caregiver stress, or adjusting to a new season of life, therapy is a place where you can gain insight, build resilience, and move toward lasting emotional wellness.

Makenna's Therapeutic Approach

Makenna uses evidence-based therapies that are tailored to each client's individual goals and experiences.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps clients learn how to accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than becoming overwhelmed by them. Instead of fighting uncomfortable feelings, ACT teaches skills to help you stay present, clarify your values, and take meaningful action toward the life you want to create.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Together, you'll learn practical tools to challenge negative thinking, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on developing skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, increasing mindfulness, and tolerating life's inevitable stressors. These skills can be especially helpful for individuals who often feel emotionally overwhelmed.

By combining these approaches, Makenna creates a personalized treatment plan that supports both immediate symptom relief and long-term personal growth.

You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, caregiver stress, depression, or a major life transition, Makenna provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you move forward with confidence.
