Hello, my name is Makya Kirchner (she, her, hers) and I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker (LMSW) here in Arizona. I am originally from Milwaukee, Wi and I moved to AZ 4 years ago with my fur baby. I have been in the social work field for over 7 years and had the pleasure of serving a wide range of populations. This includes but is not limited to those who have experienced domestic/interpersonal violence, foster care, the criminal justice system, loss/grief and homelessness. I come from a multicultural background and understand how the overlap of culture/race can impact an individual especially in the therapeutic process which is why it is essential for me to create a safe space for my clients as they embark on their healing journey. 

 

I welcome those from all walks of life. I emphasize the use of client centered and strength based approaches. I also prioritize the preservation of self, relationships, and family. I offer support in self discovery/identity seeking. Those who benefit most from working with me appreciate a direct and compassionate therapist. I incorporate the use of trauma informed care, mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), and expressive arts. My goal is to cater to my clients individual needs and support clients in becoming the person THEY want to be. 

 

I look forward to being a part of your therapy journey!
