McKenzie Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Brigham Young University. McKenzie provides therapy to children (ages 2+), teens, and adults. Her primary therapeutic modalities are Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Child-Centered Play Therapy. She is a Master Certified ART Clinician and uses ART to help clients reprocess distressing memories, images, and experiences, allowing them to experience relief and create space for new perspectives. For many clients, meaningful changes can happen in just a few sessions. She is also working toward her Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credential and enjoys using play therapy to help children communicate, process emotions, build coping skills, and work through experiences that can be difficult to express with words.
McKenzie has a particular interest in working with trauma and anxiety and has experience supporting clients with depression, grief, self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, and other challenges. She incorporates a variety of approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Sand tray therapy. She adapts her approach to each client, recognizing that what works for one person may not be the right fit for another.
With a background in the LDS faith tradition, McKenzie is uniquely positioned to support individuals from similar backgrounds, whether they are deeply rooted in their beliefs, navigating a faith transition, or refining their spiritual views. She welcomes clients of all religious and spiritual backgrounds, striving to provide a safe and affirming space for all.
McKenzie's approach to therapy is also informed by her own experiences navigating a faith transition, living with OCD and PMDD, parenting a neurodivergent child, and living with chronic illness. These experiences have deepened her understanding of how complex and deeply personal the process of change can be.
McKenzie welcomes clients of all backgrounds and identities, including those exploring questions of gender, sexuality, identity, or belonging.
McKenzie believes that every person has the capacity for healing and growth. She considers it an honor to support clients as they make sense of their experiences, recognize their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives. She strives to meet each client with curiosity and compassion, recognizing that everyone brings their own perspective, experiences, and values to the therapeutic process.
Outside of therapy, McKenzie enjoys reading, relaxing at home, hiking, skiing, traveling, and experimenting with allergy-friendly baking. She is a homebody at heart, but also loves spending time with family and friends.
McKenzie sees her clients at our Lehi office and via telehealth.
