Getting to know Mackenzie Hayden
The provider is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Mack Hayden, AMFT.
I’m willing to bet you’d rather be doing a lot of other things other than scrolling through ZocDoc profiles looking for a therapist. Most people don’t wind up here if everything’s going great. And if you are the type of person who just does this for fun… well, that’s probably worth exploring in therapy too!
Maybe you’re feeling like everything you used to believe doesn’t make sense anymore. Maybe you’re wondering how a relationship that used to fill you to the brim feels like it’s running on empty. Maybe you've been faking feeling happy for way too long. Maybe you wish you didn't imagine a big neon “Danger!" sign whenever you see your family.
For whatever reason, you’re stuck, maybe even overwhelmed, and you want to believe there’s a way out of the dark and into the light. And I’m happy to tell you—as someone who’s gone through plenty of these caves and quicksand traps myself—there absolutely is. But today, instead of staying stuck, you did something different—and now you're here.
Therapy’s not about “fixing” you—it’s about getting you untangled from the loops, stories, and survival habits that are a size too small now. Maybe you’re ping-ponging between stressed and depressed. Maybe you’re feeling like Tony Soprano once the ducks start to fly away. I’m here to help. Maybe you’re a couple who’ve gone from over-the-moon to underwater. Regardless, If you feel like you’re caught in Groundhog Day, I’m here to help you get to your personal February 3rd.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Curiosity, creativity, and compassion are the three things that have mattered most to me since I was a little kid. Ever since I became a therapist, I feel like I need to splash cold water in my face to make sure I’m not dreaming. It’s the most fulfilling job I can imagine doing.
As for “that’s all well and good, big guy, but I need some documentation,” I got my master’s in psychology at Antioch University after years as a professional writer of one type or another. Before that, I inhaled a lot of books about psychology, life, the universe, and everything to make sense of myself and the world around me.
This is the part of the commercial where I say I’m not just a salesman here, I’m a customer. I’ve been on the other side of the room in the client chair. I’ve been a nervous wreck. I’ve had the long, lonely nights listening to Radiohead, The Smiths, and Disintegration by The Cure on a loop. I know personally how much heartbreak, depression, and anxiety can leave you cracked in half.
But I can earnestly and honestly say: it will not always be this way. I know the map, I know the territory, and I’ll always do my best to help you see that there’s always a beautiful, bright, blue sky behind the clouds.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
If you want a therapist who’s not afraid to laugh or cry with you, who’s ready to talk about the stories and songs that have helped you make sense of yourself, and who's allergic to psychobabble and Therapy Speak, let's talk! You don't have to white-knuckle your way through this alone anymore.
