Getting to know Mackenna Persing

Hi there, I'm Mackenna! My name is Mackenna Persing, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Baltimore, Maryland, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Temple University. I primarily work with adults and emerging adults. My specialties include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, perinatal mental health, and infertility challenges. I employ a person-centered, supportive approach and utilize cognitive behavioral therapy in my work with clients. My approach My approach to therapy is tailored to the unique needs of each client I work with. The theoretical approaches I use most frequently are person-centered therapy, supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. My primary goal is for my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and validated during our work together. My focus I typically work with adult and emerging adult clients who are navigating life transitions, relationship issues, perinatal adjustment, and infertility, which may cause anxiety, stress, and depression in their lives. My goal is to partner with clients and help them develop tools to navigate challenging life transitions. My communication style My communication style is warm, open, non-judgmental, and personable. My goal is for clients to feel comfortable and safe when working with me. My journey to mental healthcare Throughout my life, I have always taken on the role of listener and helper. I was often the friend people would go to when they needed someone to talk through an issue. I have also always been known to see the good in everyone and to connect with almost anyone. These qualities, coupled with my desire to help others, led me to the decision to become a therapist.
