@mackenziemilon
I provide clinical counseling while building scalable community mental health programs.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing in-person counseling at Works Counseling Center, where I manage clinical documentation, collaborate with multidisciplinary care teams, and supervise practicum and internship students.
As Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of The Other Side: Investing in Mind, Body and Spirit, I lead daily programmatic and administrative operations. I build systems, partnerships, and workflows that support scholarship, early literacy, and mental health initiatives.
Previously at Mercy Community Healthcare, I provided therapy to clients and families, supported crisis intervention alongside primary and pediatric care providers, and helped execute the TN Commission on Children & Youth Delinquency grant. My clinical training includes Internal Family Systems therapy, EMDR, the Matrix Model for substance use, and QPR Suicide Prevention.
I've also led teams and programs across financial counseling, youth services, homelessness advocacy, reentry case management, and Freedom Schools. I bring a servant-leadership approach to building teams, improving operations, and supporting people through meaningful change.
