Here to support your journeY

At Coastal Counseling of Tampa Bay, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I offer a range of evidence-based approaches to help you process, grow, and reconnect—with yourself and with others.

Care That Meets You Where You Are

Trauma can leave deep marks—but it doesn’t have to define your story. We offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps clients process and heal from trauma. Whether you’re carrying the weight of past experiences or dealing with ongoing emotional distress, EMDR can provide clarity and relief.

Trauma & EMDR Therapy

Learn practical, effective tools to manage racing thoughts, low mood, and emotional overwhelm. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we’ll work together to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, helping you find relief from both anxiety and depression.

Anxiety & depression Treatment Using CBT

Your early relationships shape how you connect with others today. In attachment-focused therapy, we explore how your unique attachment style impacts your relationships, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Through education and insight, we’ll help you move toward healthier, more secure connections—with yourself and those around you.

What is EMDR Therapy?

Hi, I’m McKenzie, the therapist behind Coastal Counseling of Tampa Bay. I’ve spent over 10 years helping children, teens, and adults feel more connected, more empowered, and more in control of their mental and emotional health.

With a Master of Social Work degree, board certification, and extensive EMDR training, I combine clinical knowledge with compassionate care. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can unpack what’s weighing you down, rediscover your strengths, and move forward with confidence.

My goal is simple: to help you feel seen, heard, and truly supported—no matter where you are in your journey.
