Compassionate Psychotherapy for Meaningful Change in Orange County, CA

Welcome to McMackin Psychotherapy

Starting therapy—or even thinking about it—can bring up a mix of emotions: hope, uncertainty, curiosity, and sometimes hesitation. At McMackin Psychotherapy, we want you to know that whatever brings you here is valid, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.

We are a group psychotherapy practice dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based mental health care. Our clinicians come from diverse backgrounds and training experiences, but we share a common belief: meaningful change happens in the context of a safe, trusting relationship.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about creating a safe space to better understand yourself, develop new tools, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

At McMackin Psychotherapy, we offer a range of therapeutic approaches and specialties so that care can be tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for individual therapy, couples work, or support during a specific season of life, we aim to match you with a clinician who feels like a good fit. We believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative, respectful, and paced to you.

This blog will be a place where we share reflections, insights, and practical information related to mental health, therapy, and personal growth. Our hope is that it helps normalize the challenges many of us face and offers gentle guidance along the way.

If you’re new here, we’re glad you found us. If you’re considering reaching out for therapy, we invite you to take the next step—whether that’s exploring our services, reading more, or contacting us with questions. Healing doesn’t happen all at once, but it often begins with a single, brave step.

You are welcome here.
