About
Jennifer Mackenzie
After working for a number of years in the corporate world, I decided to pursue a career aligned with my values. I chose to complete my masters of social work because of the discipline's non-pathologizing, strengths-based approach. I fundamentally believe that we all want meaning and purpose in our lives - this is universal. People are the experts in their experiences and understand best what is meaningful and purposeful to them. However, sometimes working with a therapist can provide a different perspective that allows clients to gain fresh insights. To be open to these new insights, people must feel safe and free from judgement, and I strive to create a therapeutic relationship characterized by respect and trust.
Since changing careers almost 20 years ago I have supported people navigating many issues. My particular areas of expertise are grief and loss, chronic illness, caregiver stress, relationship issues, anxiety, and substance abuse. I work with adult and young adult individuals, couples, and families. Please reach out if there is a particular concern you would like to discuss.
About
Jennifer Mackenzie, MSW RSW
After spending several years in the corporate world, I chose to pursue a career that felt more aligned with my values. I completed a Master of Social Work because I was drawn to the profession's strengths-based, non-pathologizing approach and its deep respect for people’s lived experiences.
I believe that the desire for meaning and purpose is universal. At the same time, I recognize that each person’s path toward creating a rich and meaningful life is unique. Working with a therapist can help you clarify what matters most to you and identify the steps needed to create meaningful change. Therapy can also offer a different perspective, leading to new insights, greater self-awareness, and increased clarity.
For therapy to be effective, it is essential that you feel safe, respected, and free from judgment. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, collaboration, authenticity, and genuine respect.
Over the past 20 years, I have supported individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. My healthcare experience includes roles in Intensive Care, Emergency, and Clinical Leadership, working alongside teams that support individuals living with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. My areas of particular expertise include grief and loss, adjustment to illness, caregiver stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
I work with adults and young adults, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
