About Hilary MacKenzie
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 myu career. I graduated with distinction with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Prince Edward Island, followed by a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University. I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers & Social Service Workers.
My life experiences, education, and 16 years of working in the mental health field provide me with unique qualifications, and the empathy to offer effective long & short-term psychotherapy & counselling.
My therapeutic style is client centred, and collaborative. I believes that each person is unique, & therefore tailor my approach to each client's specific needs & personality. I can help with a broad spectrum of both mental health issues, & situational problems. I sometimes bring my dog to the office to meet clients, as some people feel more comfortable with an animal presence.
My love of animals recently led me to certify in the EAGALA method of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, which is an exciting & highly effective type of therapy.
