Mackenzie Edwards, LMSW, earned her Master of Social Work from Utah State University after completing her Bachelor of Social Work. Her professional background includes experience in both elementary schools and private practice settings, giving her valuable insight into the unique challenges faced by adults, children, and families.

Mackenzie works with clients across the lifespan, equally passionate about supporting both children and adults. With kids and teens, she draws on her background in school settings to address challenges like anxiety, behavioral struggles, and family stress. With adults, she specializes in treating anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, and trauma.

Her therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, tailored to each client’s unique goals, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Mackenzie balances a direct and structured presence with space for clients to guide sessions based on what matters most to them. For those who learn best visually or practically, she often incorporates worksheets, activities, or between-session practices to reinforce new skills and insights.

Mackenzie knows that starting therapy—whether for yourself or your child—can feel overwhelming. Her goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel empowered, understood, and equipped to take on life’s challenges. She is dedicated to helping clients not only manage their immediate concerns but also build resilience and confidence for the long term.

Her passion for mental health began early—during her freshman year of high school, when she witnessed the struggles many children face. That experience shaped her belief in the power of therapy to create meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of her work, Mackenzie enjoys reading fantasy novels, crocheting, playing soccer, and exploring video games. She values creativity and fun, qualities she often brings into her work with children while also connecting authentically with her adult clients.
