Colleen McLean, Owner & Counsellor
she/her, MSW, RSW
I have such compassion for the challenges experienced in adolescence, and the pressures you are asked to navigate. More so, I know how important it is for you to be in control of your own mental health journey.
I offer an inclusive, respectful, and collaborative space for us to focus on your priorities. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, trying to make sense of your emotions, exploring your identity, or navigating life relationships and transitions, I’m here to support you.
We all recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help. Please remember, enquiries are confidential.
