Megan MacKenzie, LCSW

Relationship, sexuality, and gender therapy.

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking greater authenticity, self-compassion, and capacity for intimacy, embodiment, and eroticism. I am particularly passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community in healing from the impacts of white cishetero patriarchal systems of oppression, especially as they are internalized as shame, guilt, and low self-esteem. My approach focuses on building self-awareness, resiliency, empowerment, and joy through a trans- and queer-affirming framework.

Drawing primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), modern psychodynamic theory, and intersectional queer theory, I provide a validating and non-judgmental space for people to explore how past experiences have shaped current beliefs and patterns.
