Mackenzie Davitt

Mackenzie Davitt believes that most people, at one point or another, could use a steadying hand through life’s harder stretches. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Rochester, New York, she works with teenagers and young adults, men, and women across a wide span of concerns — from depression, anxiety, and mood disorders to trauma, abuse recovery, and addiction. Whether a client is sitting with grief, managing impulse control, or untangling the aftermath of something painful, Mackenzie meets them where they are.

Much of her work centers on families and individuals navigating conflict and disconnection — including teens who are stretched thin between academic pressure, social anxiety, and the relentless pull of their phones, leaving little room to just talk to the people at home. She draws on individual, group, and family counseling approaches, as well as crisis intervention, to help clients move through the stuck places and toward something more stable.

Her case for therapy is straightforward: putting words to what you’re carrying changes the brain, not just the mood. Therapy, in her view, is about building toward a goal — and in that progress, finding confidence, steadiness, and a life that feels more like your own. Mackenzie offers sessions online, extending her care beyond the Rochester area.
