I help women find healing, balance, and deeper self-understanding
Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Level 1 Trained IFS, psychodynamic therapy, and infusing sessions with compassion and a feministic approach.
HEY THERE!
I’m Mckenzie McClaran LMHC, CADC, PMHC- a licensed therapist specializing in trauma, perinatal mental health, and substance abuse recovery. I am dedicated to supporting women in Iowa. I’m here to provide a compassionate and understanding space for you on your journey toward healing.
I work virtually with women 18+ in the state of Iowa. Whether you’re a new mom, or have experienced the effects of substance abuse, my services are tailored to meet your unique needs …
… by integrating evidence-based modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (Level 1 Trained IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and person-centered approaches. In addition, I incorporate trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, and other somatic practices to help clients connect with their bodies, manage stress, and process trauma on a deeper level.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to take the steps toward a healthier, more balanced life.
My journey to becoming a therapist is deeply personal. Like many of my clients, I have faced my own struggles with mental health, and it was through my own experience in therapy that I learned how transformative it could be. As someone who has experienced trauma, dealt with the complexities of perinatal mental health, and witnessed the impact of substance use in my family, I understand the deep emotional pain and resilience that comes with these challenges.
It was these experiences that ignited my passion for helping women reclaim their sense of self, heal from trauma, and find balance in their lives. I specialize in working with self-identified women who are struggling with trauma, perinatal mental health, and substance abuse, and I approach therapy through evidence-based modalities like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (Level 1 Trained IFS), and trauma-informed somatic practices.
My own journey of healing taught me the importance of connecting with both the mind and body, and I bring that perspective into my work.
