Hi, I’m LINDA MACKENZIE.
Here at Mackenzie Healing, I provide individual, couple and family counselling as well as facilitating groups in a wide variety of focuses. We can do our sessions virtually using a professional video platform for health professionals, or I take in-person sessions in North Vancouver.
I hold a Master of Counselling in Counselling Psychology and have over 30 years of clinical experience. I have extensive training in chemical and co-dependency and trauma healing and am passionate about helping people through these life-changing circumstances.
I believe in healing that promotes positive and lasting change using evidence-based models. Other models may be chosen that fit the individual needs of the client through careful assessment, collaboration and treatment planning and that are always trauma-informed.
I am registered under the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) for British Columbia which allows me to provide counselling for victims and accept referrals from Victim Services. Your counselling fees are funded by the program however you will need a claim number to submit to me for your counselling fees. When booking a session with me, please let me know you are using CVAP and together we will discuss any fees.
