Hello, my name is Lindsey MacDonald. I am originally from Cape Breton Island and have lived in Halifax for over two decades. I have been working with youth, adolescents, and families for close to 20 years in various roles within the education system such as a Student Support/Learning Centre Teacher, Transition Support Teacher, and currently as a School Counsellor. I hold a Masters Degree in Education in Counselling, a Masters Degree in Education in Leadership & Administration (with a focus on mental health), and a Masters Degree in Education in Curriculum Studies (Supporting Learners with Diverse Needs and Exceptionalities).
I believe in the power of hope, self advocacy, the human spirit, and our desire to positively connect with others. I work with all age groups in a variety of areas; however, my specialized area of focus is working with individuals/families with neurodiversities/disabilities through various life transitions (e.g. school, employment, relationships, grief, etc)
My goal is to accompany you in a relaxing, safe and supportive (and sometimes even light hearted) environment as you discover the skills, strengths, talents, and supports that will help you navigate life’s challenges, changes, and choices. Together, we will work towards your goals so that you can live - and celebrate - the life you desire and deserve.
