Lachie MacDonald
Occupational Therapist

You are welcome here. Wherever you come from, however you show up, whoever you are becoming, you are welcome. No matter how you have been devalued, discounted and pushed aside, by yourself or others, you are welcome. No matter your gender expression, sexuality, ethnicity, ability  or other parts of your identity, you are welcome.

My name is Lachie. I have worked in the Community Mental Health system with Nova Scotia for 13 years. I am an Occupational Therapist,  and have training in cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy skills. In my career, I have supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, grief, relationship concerns and a variety of other issues and difficulties.

It is my great honour to accompany people as they sort out and explore their places of hurt, sorrow and frustration that are stopping growth, restoration and flourishing in their lives. By choosing to meet with me, you are trusting me with the vulnerability that says, "things are not as they should be. I want to show up to my reality as my best self." I see it as a privilege and a gift to be a part of your journey.

I strive to weave all the strands of my experience within our relationship as we walk together on your therapy journey.  My approach is kind and compassionate, with a glint of humour, and no nonsense feedback as is needed.

I am deeply passionate about the work, and I look forward working with you.
