MICHAEL LEROUX
Registered Psychologist
As team lead, and a Registered Psychologist since 1997, my focus has always been to work in a non-profit agency where there is access for all. I work with families, individuals, couples, children and youth. My greatest teachers are those who sit in my office. Their talents, abilities and skills in facing their problems-in-living have taught me a great deal in how to sit with and help them as they travel their healing journey with trauma, failed relationships, anxiety, depression and childhood issues.
Kristina MacNeil
Registered Provisional Psychologist
I have a Bachelor of Education and a Master of Art in Counselling Psychology. I take a foundational approach rooted in solution-focused brief therapy, which is reinforced with person-centered narrative therapy. My approach speaks to Ockham’s Razor, where sometimes the simplest or smallest changes, can create the biggest rewards. I utilize SMART goals, metaphors, and many other flexible techniques that help clients cope and utilize new skills and experiences. I aim to create a safe and trusting environment conducive to all individuals. I am currently completing the steps to become a Registered Psychologist.
