Mackenzie Delaney

Mackenzie is a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology practicum student at Yorkville University, currently completing her clinical training with the Online Therapy Centre (OTC). She is committed to supporting individuals as they navigate emotional challenges and work toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being. Mackenzie approaches therapy with the understanding that each person’s experiences are unique and shaped by a combination of personal, relational, and environmental factors.

She brings an academic background in Forensic Psychology, along with a diploma in Community Justice and Services, which has provided her with a strong foundation in understanding behaviour, resilience, and systemic influences. During her internship at Grand Valley Institution for Women, Mackenzie gained meaningful experience working within a trauma-informed environment, deepening her appreciation for rehabilitation, emotional healing, and the importance of compassionate support.

Mackenzie takes a collaborative, strength-based approach to her work. She supports individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions. Her focus is on helping clients develop insight, build coping strategies, and strengthen their sense of self in a way that aligns with their values and goals.

She is dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that is respectful, inclusive, and grounded in empathy. Mackenzie values the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and works

to ensure clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process. As an intern therapist, she practices under the clinical supervision of Cathy Blocki-Radeke, MSW, RSW, to ensure the delivery of ethical and high-quality care.
