Makayla Wiegand, MFT-IT

Psychotherapist

Real, lasting healing takes root when we feel safe enough to connect — with our internal worlds, our partners, and the broader lives we are building.

I offer a steady, compassionate, and down-to-earth space for adults and couples navigating life transitions, relational patterns, or the weight of past experiences.

My approach is client-centered and highly adaptive, centering on your unique goals and needs rather than a rigid framework.

I combine the relational and experiential depth of Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Gottman Method with practical, evidence-based tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and exposure-based strategies. Whether you are seeking individual clarity or working to rebuild closeness with your partner, we will focus on understanding what keeps you stuck, building practical coping strategies, and fostering genuine connection.

Taking the step to begin therapy is a meaningful investment in yourself and your relationships.

I invite you to reach out so we can begin working together toward a more grounded, connected, and fulfilling life.
