I’m a depth-oriented therapist helping adults explore identity, emotion, and meaning during times of transition, loss, or inner conflict. My work invites you to move beneath surface symptoms to uncover the deeper patterns shaping your experience. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or seeking a more authentic path, I offer a grounded, compassionate space for insight and renewal. Together, we listen for what your inner self is trying to say—and what wants to emerge next.

You’re someone who is self-aware and motivated for change, but stuck in patterns that no longer fit. You might notice this in your work, relationships, habits, or sense of direction. On the outside things may look “fine,” but internally something feels off. Many people come in during life shifts, wanting support making clearer, more intentional choices instead of reacting from stress or self-doubt. Together, we look at patterns, emotions, and what’s actually getting in the way so change feels more steady and possible in real life.

Dr. Brent Macdonald focuses on supporting a wide range of children, adolescents, and adults (and their families) . I believe that we are all complex, life-long learners, but that some people are more complex than others. Anxiety, giftedness, social and academic challenges, and any number of other complexities can result in frustration that affects not only the individual, but the entire family. I focus on discovering the unique strengths of each individual so we can capitalize on those areas while also identifying areas of challenge so we can build on or, as necessary, plan to avoid those areas.

I am accepting new people. You need to be seen with care and understanding so you can explore problems, change how the past impacts you now, and move toward the life you want. Feeling hopeless or inadequate may have you stuck. Anxiety, PTSD, or a dysregulated nervous system can be a result of growing up without the support you needed to thrive, or your neurodivergence or sensitivities being misread. Survival strategies that once worked may no longer help - we can change them. Together, we can reset your nervous system so you feel calm and hopeful. Whether it's from harm that was done to you or nurture that you lacked, you can heal.

My Commitment: I will listen; I will care. I will see you for who you are and understand you (still) have dreams for your life: redefine your work, process the pain of separation/divorce, travel to expand your worldview, grow in your relationships. Changes may be demanded of you: illness, burn-out, physical/mental/emotional/spiritual suffering from trauma, grieving while honoring life, restoring in you what wounding has broken in soul and spirit. I create a safe space for you to work through emotions (anxiety/fear, depression) and barriers (race-related, age, health, ability) and choose how you want to live the rest of your life.

I was privileged to work in the non-profit sector for over 12 years, engaging with and supporting clients, creating, and delivering workshops and programs on aspects of caregiving, stress management, and grief and bereavement. My therapeutic approach is grounded in humanistic and person-centered theory incorporating aspects of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) as appropriate. I believe each person has the capacity to change and grow especially when provided with a safe, collaborative, and non- judgmental therapeutic space.

My passion is helping people who have sustained relational, attachment, and intergenerational trauma through childhood neglect, and/or sexual, emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse and assaults at any point throughout the lifespan. This trauma often shows up later in life as: intrusive thoughts, emotions, body sensations and flashbacks; an overall experience of sadness, shame, depression, anxiety, anger, loneliness; addictive, avoidant, and compulsive behaviours; and a loss of a sense of Self. It's important to know that there is nothing wrong with you! This is a normal response to terrible things that have happened to you.

Now welcoming new clients - couples & individuals.
If the same patterns keep showing up - the same arguments, the same disconnect - it can start to feel frustrating and hard to shift, even when you’re trying. This is a space to slow things down and make sense of what’s been happening, whether that’s in your relationship or within yourself.
I’m Marianne, therapist and founder of GoodTalk. I work with couples and individuals to understand what’s keeping them stuck and support meaningful change. My approach is grounded in attachment science, with formal training in EFT, Gottman, and RLT.

In a crowded room you can feel completely alone. Disenchanted with the current life you are living and tethered to experiences and hurts of the past. You want to build relationships with those around you but end up in the same cycle of self-sabotage. Exhausted by the high expectations you hold for yourself and overcompensating for the benefit of others. Your wants and needs have taken a backseat for too long. It’s time for a change.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. As a dedicated clinical mental health counsellor, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and healing. We are all human, and we all struggle at times. Sometimes it takes someone outside of your inner circle to be in your corner for you as you seek change, gain clarity and perspective, navigate what works best for you, and become empowered. I am here to be that for you. I am here for you to share feelings, stories, worries, and even sometimes a much-needed laugh.

I am a clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience working in private practice settings, having moved from Halifax to PEI in 2020. I see adult clients virtually or in person in my Charlottetown office who are simply looking for a compassionate and trained ear to help them navigate a current life challenge as well as those who are seeking to heal from past trauma or understand why they feel and behave the way they do and who wish to let go of patterns that are no longer serving them. I carefully tailor my treatment approach for each client with the goal of empowering them to create meaningful and positive change.
