Abby MAclean

Registered clinical counsellor

children & teen therapist

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Hi, I’m Abby! I'm a Clinical Counsellor with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and I’m passionate about supporting children and teens through difficult times. I have over 5 years experience in the field, and have loved every minute of it! The resilience and authenticity of youth never fails to impress me, and it is a large reason why I love working with the population.

I believe that every child and youth has an unlimited number of strengths within themselves, and together, I love to explore these strengths to exemplify how strong they are! Coming to therapy for the first time and not being sure what to expect can be nerve racking - With this in mind, I meet my clients where they are at and tailor the therapeutic experience to meet their needs and goals. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and helpful as possible!

The areas that I work in include anxiety, depression & low motivation, healthy relationships, emotional regulation, behaviour management, self-esteem & confidence, and self harm. I also have extensive experience and knowledge in working with indigenous youth and within indigenous communities.

When not in the office, you can find me hiking, weightlifting, running, playing recreational sports, or going on a nice walk with my wiener dog best friend, Axl!

I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Abby
