McKenzie L. Walker, PsyD
Licensed Psychologist/Founder

A little bit about me: I am a licensed clinical psychologist serving a clientele from Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, York and surrounding counties. I am a graduate of Millersville University where I enjoyed playing Field Hockey (Go Marauders!) during my undergraduate studies, receiving a degree in psychology with a minor in athletic coaching. I remained at Millersville to complete my M.S. degree in psychology before moving on to obtain both a master's and a doctorate of psychology degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). I have been trained in and hold a certificate for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is the basis of my approach to overall treatment. In addition to CBT, I often utilizes principles of motivational interviewing and view all treatment with trauma-informed care. Skills and techniques from a variety of additional facets of therapy are used to tailor individual treatment and goals.
My current focus is based on individual and family therapy and providing psychological testing and assessments including comprehensive batteries and neuropsychological batteries. I also engage in work focused on Family Law/Guardian Ad Litem and Mediation. I am an avid sports fan and animal enthusiast and can often be found watching and cheering on my favorite teams in the company of my friends and family, hanging out with our recue Pittie, Nola Brees or riding bike at the beach.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist currently seeing psychotherapy clients via telehealth and in the Lancaster office and provide evaluations in the Lancaster and Hershey offices. I received my undergraduate degree at Penn State University (We Are!) before moving on to attain my doctorate in clinical psychology with advanced proficiency in clinical neuropsychology from Immaculata University. Most of my training was spent working in and around Philadelphia (Go Birds!) with a wonderfully diverse group of people in terms of their lives, circumstances, and what brought them to seek treatment. I have been fortunate to have held positions at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Neuropsychology, Penn Memory Center, and Fairmount Behavioral Health System. My approach to treatment largely comes from a psychodynamic, attachment-based, and relational perspective; however, I have additional training and hold a certificate in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and tend to use aspects of various therapeutic modalities as they best suit treatment goals specifically tailored to your needs. I believe strongly in a collaborative approach to treatment. You are the expert in your life – I am here to help guide you in the process of uncovering your truth. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have identified trauma, mood, personality, and substance use disorders, and ADHD. I have also worked with individuals who have mental health concerns related to medical conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, my clinical focus is individual therapy with clients 18 and older and providing testing and assessment, including both comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological batteries, to those age 7 and older.

I feel so privileged that I get to work as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Behavioral Specialist with children, adolescents, adults and families.

I received my master’s degree from Capella University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently working towards my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. My love for the counseling profession and advocating for my clients has led me to serve as the President of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association Child and Adolescent Division. I utilize evidence-based treatments based on the needs of my client with a focus on ABA, CBT, and person-centered therapies. With my younger clients, I incorporate play therapy into our sessions.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I approach treatment through various psychological modalities to attend to your concerns not only in the present moment, but also with attention to your future well-being. I use a psychodynamic, person-centered approach/framework and incorporate CBT and mindfulness skills. I view each of these modalities through a trauma-informed lens to meet your needs.
I work with individual adults who struggle with anxiety, life changes/transitions, and relationship problems, as well as more complex issues like mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma histories. I have a passion for empowering abuse victims to understand themselves to become strong, resilient survivors. I also enjoy working with men and women who want to gain insight and understanding to become the best version of themselves. I look forward to our work together!
