Mackenzie Boothe, LPC

in Our Team

Life is an amazing gift, but it doesn’t come without its challenges. Sometimes we just hit a bump in the road and we need some help to get over it. Sometimes that bump is a hardship we didn’t expect, such as a serious life change, and sometimes that bump is a difficult or traumatic childhood that we never truly dealt with. You may find yourself struggling in relationships, feeling bad about yourself, having outbursts, or experiencing self-doubt. You may have even asked, What’s wrong with me? Why am I so stuck?

You don’t have to be stuck anymore. I specialize in treating clients with depression, anxiety, anger issues, trauma and PTSD, dissociation, and adjustment issues related to life changes such as divorce, pregnancy and motherhood, grief, and relationship difficulties. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you challenge the negative thought patterns that effect your day-to-day; Strength-Based approach which uses your gifts and qualities to address the problems you face; and Eye Movement Integration (EMI) for processing anxieties, phobias, and traumatic memories. I have been trained in many different modalities, and love to cater to each client’s unique needs and personality.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Alabama and Virginia. I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in criminology and sociology from the Ohio State University and a Master’s Degree in professional counseling from Liberty University. I am certified in practicing Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I primarily see adolescents and adults.

I believe that we were not meant to walk this life alone. I am warm, accepting, and honest, and it’s my privilege to walk through the hard times with others, and lend some hope and encouragement.
