More info: Mackenzie Burns, owner of Healing Patterns Counselling, is a licensed professional mental health counselor providing individual therapy to clients ages fourteen and older who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

They utilize a trauma-informed, gender-affirming approach that supports her clients in exploring the patterns in their lives that impact their functioning and relationships.

Mackenzie is passionate about helping clients who are experiencing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and PTSD as well as working with clients who are gender and/or sexually diverse.

The majority of their practice focuses on processing and healing negative emotional states caused by mental health stressors, providing gender-affirming care, and exploring relationship dynamics. My approach incorporates CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Feminist/Intersectional Approaches, and Client-centered and Attachment-based practices. 

A typical session focuses on processing and exploring patterns in relationships and overall functioning. Progress is measured on an individual level and focuses on how clients can improve their overall functioning, heal patterns, and improve their quality of life.
