Courtney (Hooper) MacDonald

Welcome! My name is Courtney.
Everyone’s life story has chapters that are harder to get through than others. It can be difficult to reach out for support so I want you to know I strive to build a trustworthy therapeutic relationship.
I operate on the assumption that that my clients are the experts in their own lives. It is from this client centered and strength-based approach to therapy that I hope to use yours to your advantage.
Together we can work with focus to make a plan that will help you achieve your goals.
I have experience using behavioral based approaches to therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also value flexibility in my approach to counselling so that I can meet my clients where they are at with new tools, resources, and perspectives. So, I also use solution-focused, narrative, and other therapeutic approaches with a trauma informed lens.
I am a registered professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) with the designation of Canadian Certified Counsellor. I am also working toward becoming a Provisional Psychologist by late fall 2022.
