Getting to know Mckenna Coffey
Hi, I’m Mckenna. I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, trained in Somatic Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems. My work is deeply informed by a curiosity about the human condition and my own meditative and compassion practice.
My clients tend to be deeply curious individuals on a journey to heal the core wounds keeping them from cultivating meaning and joy in their lives. Together we make sense of dysfunctional relational patterns, traumatic events, and the general chaos of the world, all while creating a safe space that invites their own innate inner wisdom to emerge. I’ve worked with folks from many walks of life, most of whom would identify as seekers of some sort. Artists, intellectuals, entrepreneurs, misfits, and sensitive souls are welcome!
After hours you can find me at the park with my two-year-old Aussie pup, a picnic blanket, and my trusty journal. With some loose leaf tea, of course! My other hobbies include cooking, listening to a truly eclectic mix of podcasts, reading, and going to bed early. (Yes, that’s a hobby!)
What should a new client know about working with you?
Over the past eight years I have been on a journey of alchemizing my own traumas, so I speak from personal experience when I say that profound healing is absolutely possible! Now it’s my honor to hold space for others as they navigate their own path. I do this work because I know that we can only offer to others the love, acceptance, and understanding that we have been able to extend to ourselves. The world needs change, and, corny as it might sound, it has to start within. So let’s get to work.
I’m a somatic therapist, meaning that the modalities I use account for the impact of trauma and dysfunction on the body and nervous system, allowing for deeper levels of healing than traditional talk therapy. I am an EMDR provider trained to utilize the modality in conjunction with expressive arts and have also completed extended training in somatic attachment, somatic sexology, yoga & meditation, and couples therapy. I also utilize Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and depth psychology techniques in my work.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I like to compare myself to a personal trainer. Sessions with me are all about practicing the skills that we want to utilize more in daily life. Our time together includes exercises to help you feel better in the moment and time for brainstorming the action steps you can take to work on self-soothing between sessions. Clients especially love the breathwork!

Mckenna is a truly special therapist and I'm so lucky to have found her. She is warm, insightful, and skilled. I feel like I'm finally making the kind of progress I've wanted to make in my life and my anxiety is getting better as I heal my trauma and learn better ways of coping.

Mckenna is an incredible therapist, truly. I've tried several therapists over the years and none of them have helped me as much as she has with her combination of insight, warmth, and techniques. She doesn't just listen, she also has helped me to process trauma stored in my body and get to the root of healing with EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work. My anxiety is minimal now and I am no longer avoiding going after what I really want in life.
