Macie Babo is the founder of Bloom Professional Counseling and a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep personal commitment to making mental health care accessible, compassionate, and genuinely transformative. She founded Bloom out of a belief that every person deserves to be truly seen, heard, and supported — and that commitment shapes everything about the practice she built.

Her approach is warm, practical, and grounded in evidence-based clinical methods, with a natural sensitivity to the emotional complexity that accompanies chronic health conditions and high-performance environments.

For clients who desire a faith-integrated approach, Macie brings her own personal faith into the therapeutic space with authenticity and care — meeting each person exactly where they are.

Evidence-Based, Always

Every modality we use — EMDR, CBT, DBT, CPT — is research-supported and clinically validated. Faith and science work together at Bloom, not in opposition.

You Are the Expert on You

We bring the clinical expertise. You bring the knowledge of your own life, values, and goals. The best outcomes happen when those two things work together.

Faith Is Welcome Here

For clients who desire it, faith is a natural and honored part of the healing process. For those who don't, the same compassionate, evidence-based care applies — no exceptions.

Healing Is Possible

We don't just believe healing is possible — we've seen it happen. That conviction shows up in every session, every recommendation, and every relationship we build with our clients.
