Makenzie Cummings

Makenzie Cummings is a passionate and dedicated medical professional who has devoted her career to making a positive impact in the lives of her patients. Her deep awareness of the importance of mental health stems from an early age, when she witnessed firsthand the transformative power of effective mental healthcare in the life of a family member who had been suffering from depression and anxiety. Seeing this individual make a full recovery and experience a newfound sense of joy and fulfillment sparked in Makenzie a desire to pursue a career in mental health.

After completing her studies in medicine at Florida State University, Makenzie embarked on her first rotation in mental health. As she worked with patients struggling with various mental health challenges, she was struck by the tremendous progress that many of them were able to achieve in a relatively short period of time. It was during this rotation that Makenzie began to seriously consider psychiatry as her specialty, drawn to its focus on psychotherapy and the opportunity it provides to help patients develop tools and strategies to overcome adversity and personal struggles.

Eventually, Makenzie found her way to Stedfast Psychiatry, where she was immediately inspired by the organization’s commitment to providing patients with the highest quality care and the tools they need to succeed in all aspects of their lives. For Makenzie, psychiatry is not just a job, but a calling that enables her to form meaningful partnerships with her patients, helping them achieve their goals and become the best possible versions of themselves.

One area in which Makenzie has a particular passion is the treatment of anxiety and depression. These conditions are unfortunately all too common, and many people suffer needlessly because they don’t know where to turn for help. Makenzie believes that everyone experiences some degree of anxiety at various points in their lives, but it’s how we cope with those feelings that makes all the difference. By helping her patients develop effective coping strategies and providing them with the support they need, Makenzie has helped countless individuals break free from the grip of anxiety and depression and begin to thrive once again.

In addition to her work in mental health, Makenzie has a strong background in health and exercise physiology. She recognizes the important connection between physical health and mental health, and she is committed to helping her patients improve both. By working with her patients to develop personalized plans for exercise, nutrition, and overall wellness, Makenzie is able to help them achieve optimal health and wellbeing in all areas of their lives.

Ultimately, Makenzie’s goal is to positively impact the lives of her patients and help them succeed in all of their endeavors, no matter how challenging. She takes great pride in forming close relationships with her patients and providing them with the support and encouragement they need to achieve their goals. For Makenzie, there is no greater reward than seeing her patients experience true transformation and begin to live their best lives.
