McDonald, Kathleen – Social Worker, MSW RSW Courageous Connections Counseling & Consulting Private practice (individual) Registered with Manitoba Institute of Registered Social Workers

Addiction

I have worked with children and youth in various roles since 2004. I have a Master’s of Social Work (MSW), I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and a Play Therapy student (CAPT). I also have a background in criminology, early childhood education and youth work. My goal is to connect people to healing through using an attachment lens and play therapy techniques. Through play we are able to process our experience and heal from traumas. Play therapy can be used with people of all ages! I believe relationships are the foundation to wellness. I believe healing happens in relationship; having a safe, secure and kind place to land is important for all people, especially when you struggling. I primarily work with children, youth and their families. I offer individual and group counseling. I work from an attachment lens and use relationship based practice. I integrate several modalities based on client"s needs and preference; I primarily use play therapy techniques and mindfulness. I am a Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator. Special Services During Pandemics (e.g. COVID/Corona), Disasters and Related Emergencies In office sessions will follow social distancing protocols and masks will be provided. Virtual counseling sessions are also available
