Makenzie Wesner

Founder Clinical Director Blue Wave Behavioral Health

As the Founder Clinical Director of Blue Wave Behavioral Health, I bring extensive experience in neurodevelopmental psychiatry and integrative behavioral health care, specializing in working with children, adolescents, and families. My approach is rooted in a comprehensive, outside-the-box, and detail-oriented methodology, particularly in supporting complex cases where traditional systems have fallen short.

With a background in both clinical psychiatry and developmental neuroscience, I have worked extensively in family and teen therapy settings, founding and leading the Behavioral Medicine department at the Family Therapy Center of Silicon Valley and Teen Therapy Center of Silicon Valley. My expertise spans comprehensive assessment, personalized action planning, and innovative therapeutic modalities, including nature-based therapy, eco-therapy, and advocacy-driven care.

At Blue Wave, I am committed to creating a patient-centered, neurodevelopmentally informed model that prioritizes accessibility, connection, and empowerment. Through education, advocacy, and policy reform, I work to reshape public perceptions of neurodiversity and mental health while ensuring families receive the individualized support they need to thrive.
