Canadian Certified Counsellor Courtney (Hooper) MacDonald
Welcome! My name is Courtney.
​
I am a registered professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) with the designation of Canadian Certified Counsellor. As well, I am registered with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta as a Counselling Therapist.
​​
As a mental health professional, I am committed to helping my clients overcome their emotional struggles and create positive changes in their lives. I provide a safe space where they can process intense emotions and feel understood, seen, and supported.​
​
My person-centred approach allows me to meet my clients where they are in their journey for change, and I use cognitive-behavioral therapy principles to help them build awareness of the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
With extensive experience in working with teenagers and adults experiencing emotional dysregulation, I am passionate about helping them find inner strength and resilience to overcome their challenges and lead fulfilling lives.
I operate on the assumption that my clients are the experts in their own lives and believe that together we can work with focus to make a plan that will help you achieve your goals.
​
Courtney's fees are $160 per hour and she is willing to provide services on a sliding scale.
