Hello my name is Mackenzie! I have completed a master’s in counselling psychology and continuing education with a PhD in forensic Psychology. As a counselor with extensive experience working with youth and clients in educational settings, I am committed to utilizing evidence-based approaches to therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I am passionate about using a two- eyed seeing approach in therapy and I am experienced in incorporating indigenous ways of healing into the therapeutic journey. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients, providing them with the tools and support they need to navigate life’s challenges effectively. By combining these therapeutic modalities, I can create a nurturing and collaborative environment that fosters growth and self-awareness. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, fostering internal coping strategies that will empower clients to face adversity with resilience and embrace positive transformation.

Andre recently completed his M.Sc. in School and Applied Child Psychology in Moh’kinsstis (Calgary), where he did research on using nature and the outdoors to promote social-emotional development in K-12 students. Andre’s clinical training focused on psycho-educational assessment and school-based intervention, and he uses these skillsets to help students, their families, and teachers better understand how they learn and to help them not only survive but thrive at home, school, and life at large. Andre believes that relationships are the key to resilience and wellbeing, and that people of all ages can learn the skills to overcome life’s toughest challenges. Having now returned to Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton), Andre is humbled by the opportunity to integrate culturally aware, play-assisted, and cognitive-behavioural approaches to serve his clients and to walk with them on their journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. In his free time, Andre can be found adventuring outdoors, trying his hand at amateur mechanics, and spending time with his family and two cats, Ember and Neko.
