Mackenna Romine, LSW, earned her Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in May 2025. Prior to that, she attended the University of Tampa, where she earned her degree in December 2020.

Since graduating, Mackenna has worked at a supervised visitation center, supporting children, adults, and families as they navigate difficult transitions. This experience has allowed her to work with clients across the lifespan. 

Mackenna believes that every person is unique and that therapy should be tailored to each client’s individual needs, experiences, and goals. She is passionate about meeting clients where they are and creating a safe, supportive space where they can feel heard and understood. She values a collaborative therapeutic relationship and works alongside her clients to help them build the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s challenges.

Outside of work, Mackenna enjoys reading, taking walks with her dog, and trying out new crafts.

Specialized practical treatment for anxiety. I appreciate my counselor as compassionate and knowledgeable.
