A little about MacKenzie :) -

"I’m Mackenzie Kennedy, a dedicated therapy intern student with a passion for helping individuals overcome obstacles and discover their inner strengths. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychological Sciences from Western Kentucky University and currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Campbellsville University, I bring a unique blend of academic knowledge and practical experience to my practice.

With six years of specialized experience in chemical dependency and four years dedicated to working with children aged 4 to 17, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the diverse challenges individuals face at different stages of their lives. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and evidence-based techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their emotions, confront challenges, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Through collaborative and client-centered therapy, I aim to empower individuals to cultivate resilience, develop coping strategies, and unlock their full potential. Together, we will work towards creating positive and lasting changes that enhance well-being and promote a fulfilling life.

I am working under the supervision of Casey Coursey, LCSW."
