Hello, my name is Macie, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate with 12 years in the behavioral health field. Seven of those years have been dedicated to crisis intervention. I provide trauma informed, evidence-based, client-centered psychotherapy within a warm, non-judgmental, and honest therapeutic environment. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and adjustment to life transitions, including career-related stress and decision-making in a multitude of life areas. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, utilizing clinically informed interventions to support emotional regulation, insight, and sustainable change utilizing approaches such as; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Narrative approaches.

Hello, I will offer you my utmost respect and encouragement throughout the therapy process. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Montana State University - Billings. I have worked for several mental health agencies, including positions in elementary schools, high schools, and on a college campus. Additionally, I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and counseling at the university level. I have supervised graduate interns as they complete their hours toward licensing and have overseen an outpatient therapy department. Furthermore, I have served as a campus counselor, assisting college students with their personal growth and relationship issues. Having "hope" is one of the most important motivators to overcome life challenges. Finding "hope" can immediately change one's mood from despair to peace. I have significant experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, motivation, finding purpose, and life transitions. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, but we all need help to navigate this life. I will provide you with support, encouragement, an outside perspective, and space to explore productive options to steer your life in the right direction and, most importantly, find "hope." A whole stack of memories never equals one little hope.

You are embarking on an important journey of growth and healing, and it is my privilege to come alongside you in that journey and ultimately to meet your need with truth, hope, and healing. My counseling orientation is integrative, enabling me, as your therapist, to tailor the counseling interventions to your particular needs. Approaches may include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-informed therapy, Biblical Counseling, Narrative therapy, Somatic therapy, IFS, and more. In addition, I am trained and comfortable working with thoughts and feelings of suicide. As holistic beings, all aspects—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—contribute to our overall experience of wholeness and wellness. I look forward to joining you in your journey toward wellness.

With more than twenty years of experience, I've had the honor of supporting people from all walks of life as they navigate the challenges of relationships—both with others and within themselves. My approach focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore what's weighing on you. Together, we can work on understanding patterns, reconnecting with your strengths, and identifying the steps toward meaningful change, no matter where you are in life. Whether you're dealing with stress, seeking greater self-awareness, or striving for deeper connections, I am here to help. If you're ready to begin this journey or simply curious about what might be possible, I welcome you to reach out and take the first step.
