Mackenzie Elder, LCSW
School-Based Clinician, St. Stephen Catholic School

Mackenzie grew up in Pennsylvania and attended the University of Pittsburgh for both her undergraduate and Master's Degrees in Social Work. After relocating to Colorado, Mackenzie spent time working as a teaching assistant with Summer Advantage. It was through that experience that she was inspired to work with children. Mackenzie’s practice is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered approach utilizing CBT, DBT, CAMS, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She has a passion for grief work and understanding the effects of trauma at a young age on a person’s life. It is witnessing her clients’ resilience and capacity for growth that sustains Mackenzie’s love for walking alongside people in their journeys.

In her free time, Mackenzie enjoys spending time in the kitchen, reading a good book, and taking her cat on hikes.
