Hello, my name is Lindsey MacDonald. I am originally from Cape Breton Island and have lived in Halifax for a little over two decades. I have been working with youth, adolescents, and families for almost 20 years in various roles within the education system such as a Student Support (Learning Centre) Teacher, Transition Support Teacher, and currently as a School Counsellor. I hold a Masters Degree in Education in Counselling, a Masters Degree in Education in Leadership & Administration (focusing on mental health), and a Masters Degree in Education in Curriculum Studies (Supporting Learners with Diverse Needs and Exceptionalities).

I connect with those navigating mental health (namely anxiety, panic attacks, autism meltdowns), neurodivergent folks, and perinatal maternal health. You may be journeying life not feeling "on" or like yourself. Have low capacity impacting your ability to function. Not feeling well rested or grounded. Debilitating headaches, brain fog, confusion, nausea, distraction… when one or more of these states take over, you can feel on edge, helpless, frustrated, disempowered, and hopeless. Through these moments of change and transition I believe in ease and abundance ahead for us. I would be honoured to hold space for you and your story.

Hello to all. Pairing elements of CBT and DBT with a Drama Therapeutic approach can lead to positive change and empowerment. As a counselling therapist, my therapeutic approach utilizes talk therapy and engages the individual's, or couple's creative mind(s) for catharsis. It is an innovative approach for those who may be stuck in old patterns or need to explore new ways to better communicate. Clients can discover new solutions to confronting challenges by rehearsing alternative responses using the “what if ” approach. You will be gently guided in this process while exploring a way to better express what might be challenging you.
