Carol Mackiewicz

Carol Mackiewicz, LMHC, combines clinical counseling training with a background in visual art to guide people through life's transitions. She holds a B.A. in Art and Painting and an M.A. in Art Therapy and Counseling, and has spent 11 years facilitating art therapy and clinical work. Her practice centers on helping individuals use creative processes to explore questions about identity, relationships, mood, and purpose.

Sessions with Carol integrate art-making and verbal reflection. She facilitates the art activities, supports clients as they explore themes that emerge, and offers client-centered clinical guidance. No prior art experience is required, and she does not judge or interpret a person's artwork. Carol's approach is aimed at helping people build skills for self-soothing, empowerment, and clearer focus on what matters to them.

Carol works with a range of concerns documented in her profile, including stress, anxiety, mood difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and caregiver stress. Her background in both studio art and art therapy informs a practical, creativity-oriented way of working for those who wish to pair visual expression with talk-based counseling.
