Mckenzie Kool
Co-Founder & Director of Trauma Informed Care
Registered Psychologist
Mckenzie’s approach to therapy comes from her experience in treating a wide range of mental health concerns, combined with the observation that the symptoms clients present with often have roots in unprocessed trauma or distressing life events. She works from an attachment perspective and a brain-based approach that aims to integrate unprocessed trauma in the nervous system, in order to alleviate psychological distress and unhealthy relationship patterns. Mckenzie also works to help clients resolve generational trauma that is passed down through no fault of our own. Mckenzie believes that we all have the ability to heal from the life experiences that have disconnected us from who we really are. She is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and believes that counselling should be both insightful and fun.
She has completed advanced training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), attachment focused EMDR, EMDR and egostates, clinical hypnosis, Internal family systems (IFS), and the comprehensive resource model (CRM).
