Emily MacDonell MEd, RCC

I‘ve been practicing as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) for 13 years, bringing over two decades of experience in mental health support within public education and community-based settings. As a certified Women’s Mental Health Specialist, I am invested in the wellbeing of women throughout all life stages and transitions. I believe that supporting women effectively requires first-hand experience and an appreciation of the load that is carried.  As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I have advanced training in trauma therapy rooted in Polyvagal Theory and CBT for addressing things like post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression for clients with a range of backgrounds.

Most importantly, I believe that true healing occurs within an environment of safety and trust, which is what I strive to provide in each session. Whether you’re seeking clarity, calm, or connection, I’m here to walk alongside you at your own pace. I offer in-office sessions in Kamloops, BC, as well as remote sessions via phone or video, ensuring you can access the mental health support you need whenever and wherever you are. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and I honour that. I will make every effort to see you as soon as possible, at a time and place that works for you, and offer you direct billing to your insurance plan. Therapy should be a sanctuary from the stresses of your life, not an additional burden. 

I invite you to give it a try.
