Gentry Vest, AMFT (#124539), is a Dublin therapist that specializes in supporting high achieving and stressed out teens. She loves working with young adults who are navigating life transitions, challenges related to social connections, and the pressures that come with perfectionism.

Whether you’re facing challenges in your relationships, feeling anxious about the future, or dealing with the weight of self-doubt, Gentry is committed to working with you to uncover your strengths and build a more fulfilling life.

In sessions with Gentry, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can openly express yourself.

You don’t want a therapist that just nods & “mhmms” while you talk. You want someone that really gets you, gives concrete feedback, and helps you make the changes you want to see.

Mackenzie Sodestrom, LMFT (#110319) is a little sassy, use a lot of humor, and will inevitably swear in sessions. Consider me your fellow journeyer, hope holder, and joy discoverer. I believe that if we’re successful, I’ll eventually work myself out of a job. That means our therapy sessions keep our initial goals in mind, and we’ll check in on our progress together to get you closer to the life you want.

I pair insight with practical tools, offering both compassion & straightforward feedback. We’ll laugh together quite a bit along the way. I’m a big believer in finding ways to reclaim joy in your daily life, and we’ll do the same in our therapy together.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help my clients make change in their life. I teach practical, effective tools that help you better manage your feelings & relationships outside of sessions. I love using Internal Family System (parts work) to instill deeper self-compassion and gently create change from stubbornly held patterns. I utilize EMDR to heal the ways past traumatic experiences interrupt your life now.
