Mackenzie Menter MSW-i
Clinical Intern
Mackenzie Menter (all pronouns) is a queer therapist-in-training who brings warmth, creativity, and strong relational attunement to their work. With a background in music theatre and a passion for storytelling, Mackenzie helps clients explore identity, relationships, and lived experience in ways that feel authentic and empowering. Mackenzie works with individuals and couples of all identities and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+ clients, heterosexual couples, and chosen families. They support clients navigating identity exploration, religious trauma, shame, and the complexities of intimacy - whether in monogamous or consensually non-monogamous relationships. Mackenzie has experience helping partners heal from infidelity and betrayal trauma, rebuild trust, and strengthen communication. They also support clients in exploring sexual preferences, desire, and libido, creating space for open, shame-free conversations about intimacy and connection. They are particularly passionate about supporting queer and questioning youth, offering affirming, developmentally attuned spaces to explore gender and identity without pressure. Across all ages and relationship types, Mackenzie creates a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment grounded in each client’s goals and values. Drawing on training in trauma-informed care, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and human sexuality, Mackenzie integrates practical tools with deep empathy. They are currently completing dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Human Sexuality at Widener University and are pursuing certification through AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists). Mackenzie approaches their work with cultural humility and a strong belief in each client’s capacity to heal, grow, and connect.
