About Hilary MacKenzie
I believe in being client centred, and collaborative. Therapy is about you, the client, so you decide what you want to focus on, & what your goals are, & we work together to achieve them. I believe that each person is an individual, with unique issues & strengths, & therefore my therapeutic approach should be geared to your specific needs. I can help with a broad spectrum of both mental health issues, & situational problems, & specialise mainly in anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress management, & self-esteem.
I sometimes bring my dog to the office to meet clients, as some people feel more comfortable with an animal presence.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked for the Federal Government for many years while raising my children as a single parent. Following some life-changing experiences, I was inspired to return to school, & change my career. I graduated with distinction with a BA in Psychology from the University of Prince Edward Island, followed by an MSW from Wilfrid Laurier University. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers & Social Service Workers, & a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers.
Lived experience, education, and 18 years of working in the mental health field provide me with unique qualifications, and the understanding & empathy to offer effective long & short-term psychotherapy & counselling.
