Macy Oosthuizen (pronounced wist-hay-zen) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and the founder of Finding Spaces Therapy in Jupiter, FL. As an adoptee and someone who has experienced an NPE, she's passionate about providing therapy to teens & adults who need help navigating post-adoption issues, non-paternity events, and post-donor/third party conception. Other specialties include trauma, anxiety, grief, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+/gender questioning teens, and clients who were raised by a parent who is emotionally immature, has borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder. Macy’s practice is made up of 50% teens and 50% adults.
Macy's guiding principle is that healing occurs within a relationship & she emphasizes the importance of relationships (and humor) as a vital mechanism for change in a non-judgmental, strength-based environment. She works collaboratively with the client/families to help achieve therapeutic goals. Mindfulness plays an important role in all her therapeutic work and has 200-level yoga teacher certification. Macy is an adjunct professor at Florida Atlantic University teaching in the graduate school of Social Work and sits on the FAU Center for Autism and Related Disabilities Mental Health Task Force.
