We currently have 6 counselors in Bellevue
My name is Daniel McKenzie, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As someone who has experienced the love, mercy and grace of the Lord, my ultimate goal is to share what has been graciously given to me with those in need. I’ve helped people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures find lasting solutions for struggles related to anxiety and depression, relationship issues, addiction, and parenting. I also provide counseling for men and at-risk youth. Whatever struggles you face, I offer a dedicated, client-focused approach for helping you heal, grow, and build meaningful relationships with yourself, others, and Christ.
As your counselor, my role is to provide a safe space where we can explore and understand the depths of your experiences together. Through a process of self-acceptance and self-discovery, you will find the strengths God has given you to overcome life’s obstacles and begin your path toward spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wholeness. I commend you for taking this courageous first step towards change. It takes a great deal of strength and vulnerability to seek help, and your willingness to do so is truly inspiring. I look forward to seeing how the Lord will work in your life for good.
After 20 years of marriage, four kids, and an abundance of experience with mental health issues like depression and anxiety, I'd love to sit down with you and help you figure out the “Why?" and the "Now what?" regarding the challenges you’re facing—and discover where we can find the power to do such courageous and important work. Whether relational, behavioral, or mood concerns, I specialize in a deep and comprehensive approach toward freedom as we put the “grid of the gospel” down on each and every issue we work through together.
Life should be more than just pain and trials. Though they can serve a purpose, I believe that God has much more in store for you. My hope is to help you discover the wonderful joys and strength that lie beneath the pain and trauma you might be facing. Through Christ, we can conquer fear and find freedom, healing, and purpose. Whatever challenges you face, I offer you a safe place for you to discover all that God can do for your life.
I understand that all seasons of life can be challenging and hard at times. As a Christian counselor, I am passionate about your life and how you live it. My desire is to help you find your strength to learn and grow to your full potential and be all that God has called you to be. I will work with you and show you how to recover, restore, and renew your life. My hope is that through our sessions together, you will learn more about yourself and how to care for yourself well.
Too often clients come into counseling feeling a sense of failure or defeat, but I believe the very act of making your first appointment is a victory, a decision to take care of yourself and get the support you need. As a Christian counselor, my goal is to help you find hope and strength, worth and peace, not in spite of your trials and pain, but by having lived through them. My hope is that through our sessions you will gain a deeper knowledge that even in the midst of your brokenness, you are a beloved child of God.
With 30 years of experience in pastoral counseling, it is my privilege to hear people’s stories and come alongside individuals to encourage them and help them find hope that’s real. Lasting change and meaningful growth are possible even when you are feeling stuck. Whether you’re struggling with career changes, relationship struggles, family drama, tough decisions or painful, personal issues, I will work with you to overcome the challenges you face with God’s help. I strongly believe that God is at work in each counseling session, both in me as a therapist and in you as the client. Together we will depend on Him for direction as we use proven therapeutic techniques and guidance from His Word to reach a place of healing and wholeness in Christ.
Knowing when it’s time to seek counseling takes wisdom, courage, and humility. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I have experience in helping people who feel broken and unsure about the future. My goal is to help you seek positive change in all areas of your life. Anxiety, depression, aging, codependency, sexual abuse, and other traumas affect our relationships with those we want to love, including ourselves. I’m here to walk with you on your unique journey and welcome you to explore faith as a way to enhance your life and recovery.
