Meet

Colleen Tierney.

I am a graduate student purusing my Masters of Arts in Counselling and Psycotherapy (MACP) with Yorkvillle University and doing my practicum with Counselling For All. I am an empathetic and passionate professional interested in helping people feel fulfilled and happy. I use a holistic and trauma-informed approach with a trained background in yoga. I listen to what matters to you to help find the best avenues of support. You are unique, and how I help will also be. I utilize my strengths of empowerment and positive regard to help you leave feeling ready to handle what comes. I believe you have what you need inside you, and we’ll uncover and develop the needed tools. Life is a journey. Allow me to walk alongside you (virtually) to help along the way.

My Therapeutic Approach

Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Adlerian Theory

Population that I prefer working with

As an associate therapist I am open to working with all populations of age, background and needs. In future, I intend to support young women to work through the adolescent years into adulthood with empowerment, grace, and strength.
