Kelly Macdonell,

EA, RECE, SSW, RSSW – Child & Youth Therapist

With over 22 years of experience in the helping profession, Kelly has dedicated her career to supporting children and adolescents in our community. She brings a deep understanding of the unique challenges today’s youth face and offers a compassionate, informed approach to help them navigate life’s difficulties.

Kelly has a natural ability to connect with children at their level, building strong rapport and trust that form the foundation of her therapeutic work. Her sessions are grounded in warmth, respect, and empathy, creating a space where young individuals feel safe, heard, and supported.

Kelly’s therapeutic approach integrates:

• Play Therapy
  
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  
• Mindfulness-Based Techniques
  

She believes in bridging the mind-body connection to support holistic healing and emotional regulation. Whether working through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, nutrition-related concerns, or behavioural difficulties, Kelly tailors her approach to meet each child’s unique needs.

At the heart of Kelly’s work is her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children and youth can grow, heal, and move toward greater well-being and inner peace.
