Mackenzie Alcorn, LCSW | First Responder Therapist

As a first responder, you dedicate your life to serving and protecting others, often at the expense of your own mental and emotional health. As the daughter of a retired Sheriffs sergeant from California and having a cousin who is currently serving as a sergeant over a violent crimes unit, I have watched this experience first hand. My approach acknowledges the pressures, traumas, and stressors inherent in your profession, offering compassionate and effective therapy solutions to help you thrive both on and off duty. I understand the importance of confidentiality and trust, which is why I prioritize creating a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you're grappling with the aftermath of a critical incident, managing stress, coping with PTSD, or seeking support for relationship challenges, my goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies you need to cultivate resilience and regain a sense of balance in your life. Through evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and mindfulness techniques, I collaborate with you to develop personalized treatment plans that address your unique needs and goals. My approach encompasses not only addressing symptoms but also fostering long-term growth, self-awareness, and self-care practices to sustain your mental well-being over time. It's time to prioritize your mental health and well-being so that you can continue to serve your community with strength, compassion, and resilience.

A little about my practice: I currently work full time seeing clients from 8-4:30pm separately from my private practice. This is why my availability is limited to evenings and weekends. If you need another alternative time, please reach out and I will see what I can do! I do not take insurance. I feel strongly about this, although I know it can hinder some from utilizing my services. Most people new to therapy are unaware that in order for a clinician to bill insurance companies, they have to give their clients a diagnosis. I believe my clients are more than a diagnosis. Especially if that will be tracked by insurance agencies. If you would like therapy but find the out of pocket cost keeps you from doing so, let's chat and see how we can come to an agreement.
