Free 10-15 minute virtual connection meeting! (In-person and online sessions available). Hello! My name is Jennifer MacKinnon, and I'm a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC). As the Owner of Sagacious Counselling and Wellness Support, I value having a safe, non-judgmental place for therapists and clients. I love being a Counsellor and value all stories; my favourite stories are the ones people hold inside with shame. Shame hates the light. Let's get that out of you! I work with individuals and couples from age 13+. My passion is this lifelong career in empowering people to process pain, find strength and foster hope.
I start the therapeutic process by building a relationship in the present. If you want, we can also walk with you back to your childhood, traumatic experiences, family dynamics, grief/loss and negative core beliefs to see where patterns of behaviour or coping started for you. We can find helpful solutions in the present to help empower future wellness goals
We suffered many losses from our lives in the last few years. As a result, our relationships, our priorities and natural coping have changed. I help clients by accessing emotions, using logical reasoning, and identifying strengths. The therapeutic connection is critical to a successful counselling experience. I would be honoured to hear your story.

I love working with couples who are struggling to connect. Anyone who says I have anger issues is my favourite client, as I help people understand what is under their anger and learn tools to manage anger more effectively. Working with mothers is a passion of mine; as women, we love our children and lose so much of our identity in becoming a mom. It is overwhelming and can feel lonely.

My session and model used are tailored to each client. I don't expect clients to fit into my therapy box; it is my job to learn about you and apply the best therapy for the situation and person. If people have been to therapy before I ask what did they liked and not like about it. I educate on what therapy I am working from. The therapeutic connection is critical to effective therapy.
