McKenzie Comprehensive Therapy
"...maybe it’s about the wonderful things that may happen if you break the ropes that are holding you.”

Lorraine McKenzie MSW LCSW
My Approach
I am a neurodiversity-affirming therapist. I named my practice, "Comprehensive Therapy," because I support individuals to look at all aspects of their lives - their sleep, nutrition, social interactions, emotional and physical well-being, as well as what Joseph Campbell called, "that sacred space where you can find yourself over and over again." From my perspective (and experience), most of the difficulties that bring us to therapy involve our "whole" selves, and so I try to keep that in mind as we do our work together supporting your healing and movement towards your goals.
About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and therapist who works with individuals 18 + old who may be experiencing challenges and are looking to make positive changes in their lives. I specialize in autistic adults, social anxiety disorder, depression, trauma, OCD, psychosis, insomnia, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. I have a particular passion supporting adults on the autism spectrum to live their fullest lives. I also love supporting other individuals to navigate life transitions and take on career exploration.
I believe that with positive support we all can tap into our own brilliance and lead full and connected lives.

Payments Accepted
I am in-network with PacificSource Commercial, PacificSource OHP, Providence, and Regence Blue Cross/Blue Shield, ComPsych, MODA, Kaiser First Choice and OHA Open
Card. I also dedicate 25% of my practice to Open Path Therapy Collective clients. A $59 OpenPath lifetime membership will allow you to see anyone in the OpenPath network for an affordable price. I take sliding scale clients exclusively through this service and think OpenPath is an ethical company that broadens access to mental health supports.
Helpful Resources
The Internet has made finding supportive mental wellness information relatively easy - however, it is important to carefully vet the information you find. There are far too many oppressive, inaccurate and negative websites out there that can be harmful to your well-being. Here are some of the resources I have reviewed that are solution-focused and support the notion that we can, in fact, heal ourselves. I hope you’ll find these resources helpful.
