Trauma, attachment, and EMDR therapy for adults and teens in Philadelphia, PA.
Now offering in-person sessions in Brewerytown, Philadelphia and virtual sessions in PA and NJ.
Welcome!
My name is Makenzie Pacocha and I am a psychotherapist who is based out of Philadelphia, PA. I am incredibly passionate about therapy and the individuals that I get to meet through this process.
The work that I do with adults and teens is trauma informed, relational, and attachment focused. This means that we won’t only be looking at the symptoms you may be dealing with, but also the things happening in your world- past and present, and how they may be impacting you. This also means that you will feel like you are talking to another human. Not just a person behind a screen, or in a white coat. It is through this relationship that we will bring awareness to the patterns and ways of being that have helped you survive difficulties in the past, but may no longer be serving you.
Specialities: Intimate partner violence, sexual abuse/assault, complex trauma, adults living with the impact of early relational trauma (neglect and abuse), interpersonal relationship challenges, anxiety.

A little about me
It is through authentic connection that we cultivate healing
Whether you are someone navigating trauma, abuse, challenging family dynamics, or are dealing with perfectionism and chronic stress- I am here to navigate these waters with you.
Many of us who have experienced these issues struggle to find self-compassion and appreciation for the ways in which we have managed to deal with the pain. On top of that, it feels almost impossible in today’s world to find a therapist who is willing to meet you in those experiences without the confusing jargon or feeling inauthentic. As someone who has been on the other side of the couch, cultivating a safe and supportive relationship that is backed up with knowledge on the types of therapy that can support you is my main priority. I am a firm believer that when our wounds occur in the context of our relationships, the best way to heal these parts of us is to have a different experience of relationship- one that is deeply compassionate, healthy, and attuned to your needs.
