Individual Mentorship for Future Therapists and Mental Health Professionals
Personalized mentorship for students, career changers, and emerging clinicians across the U.S.
Mentorship Just for You
If you’re trying to figure out a path into counseling or the mental health field, Individual Mentorship is a space where you don’t have to do it alone.
This is personalized, one-on-one support designed to help you understand your options, make sense of graduate school and licensure pathways, and get clarity on what direction actually fits you.
Whether you’re a student, career changer, or early in your training, we work together to bring structure, honesty, and direction to a process that often feels overwhelming or unclear.
Career exploration in the mental health field can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times like there’s no clear roadmap for how to move forward. With so many different paths—graduate programs, licensure routes, and career options—it’s easy to feel unsure about what direction actually fits you.
Individual Mentorship offers grounded, real-world support as you explore your path into counseling or the mental health field. This is a space where we slow things down, make sense of your options, and help you feel more confident about your next steps.
Care here is centered on clarity, structure, and practical guidance so you can move forward with more direction and less uncertainty.
Together, we will:
Explore different mental health career paths (counseling, social work, therapy, etc.)
Break down graduate school options and what may fit your goals
Clarify licensure pathways (LPC, LMFT, LCSW, etc.)
Map out realistic next steps based on where you are right now
Work through confusion, self-doubt, or decision overwhelm
Build a clearer sense of direction for your education and career journey
Support That Gets You
Meet Your Mentor
Hey, I’m Mackenzie!
I noticed so many aspiring therapists didn’t have the guidance they really needed — questions left unanswered, options unclear, and no one walking alongside them through the confusing, gatekeepy parts of this field. I saw a real need: a space where people could explore their goals, get honest insight, and feel supported while navigating grad school, licensure, and early career decisions.
That’s why I created Pathway to Practice — a mentorship space built around you. A place where your curiosity is honored, your questions are validated, and your overwhelm about “what’s next” is met with real guidance and support.
This isn’t just a program for me — it’s a space I’ve carefully designed to provide clarity, perspective, and a plan that actually works for your unique journey. Every resource, every workbook, every module is meant to help you feel seen, grounded, and capable as you explore your path into counseling.
Too often, people start exploring therapy careers feeling lost, unsure, or stuck. That gap in guidance is real — and it’s what drives everything I do here. In Pathway to Practice, you don’t have to figure it out alone. You can bring your questions, your uncertainty, even the “what if I’m not cut out for this?” moments — and we’ll tackle them together.
This is a space for undergrads, career changers, and anyone curious about stepping into a mental health career. You’re not behind, you’re not doing it wrong — you just need guidance, support, and a roadmap. I’ve got you, and we’ll figure this out together.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, although many people that go into graduate programs in psychology, counseling, social work, or related fields have undergraduate degrees in psychology, social work, human services, or similar. Requirements for graduate programs vary, and mentorship can help you understand which paths fit your current situation.
-
Becoming a licensed therapist typically involves earning a graduate degree (such as counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy), completing supervised clinical hours, and passing state licensure requirements.

Each licensure path leads to becoming a therapist, but they differ in training focus and clinical requirements. LPCs focus on counseling, LMFTs focus on relationships and family systems, and LCSWs focus on clinical social work and systems-based care.

On average, it takes about 6–10 years depending on your education path, graduate program, and the number of supervised clinical hours required for licensure.
