MaKenzie Stegeman, LMSW-P

MaKenzie Stegeman is a Licensed Master Social Worker – Provisional who provides counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults navigating emotional, behavioral, and life transitions. Her work centers on creating a steady, thoughtful therapeutic space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help young clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, fostering emotional regulation and healthier responses. She partners closely with parents and caregivers, offering education and practical strategies that strengthen family relationships and support growth at home.

MaKenzie also works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, and pivotal life transitions. Using evidence-based, CBT-informed approaches, she helps clients gain insight, develop practical coping strategies, and make meaningful progress in their daily lives. She holds a particular interest in supporting individuals living with Type 1 Diabetes and other chronic health conditions, addressing the psychological and lifestyle complexities that often accompany long-term medical care. Her aim is to help clients maintain a strong sense of self beyond any diagnosis.

MaKenzie is continuing her advanced clinical training toward licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She views therapy as a collaborative process, rooted in trust, clinical excellence, and steady forward movement.
