Mentorship Just for You

You’re pretty sure you want to work in the mental health field.

But maybe you’re not sure what degree you need. Or whether counseling, social work, psychology, or another path makes the most sense for you. Maybe graduate school feels overwhelming, you’re confused about what comes after graduation, or you’re wondering whether the path you’re considering is actually the right fit.

Maybe you’re wondering:

  • Should I pursue counseling, social work, psychology, or something else?

  • Which graduate programs make sense for me?

  • Am I on the right track?

  • What should I be doing before grad school?

  • What will my career look like after graduation?

  • How do I get from where I am now to becoming a licensed therapist?

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Pathway to Practice Individual Mentorship gives you a space to bring your specific questions and decisions to the table. We’ll talk through your options, make sense of what you’re finding, and figure out what makes sense for your next step.

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.

  • 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.

  • This is something many people explore during mentorship. Talking through your interests, strengths, values, and goals can help you gain clarity on whether this field is a good fit for you.

  • Yes! Many people start mentorship while still exploring whether this is the right path. You do not need to be fully decided to begin!

  • Yes! This is virtual mentorship available to students, career changers, and emerging clinicians across the United States.
