Cory MacDonald

Cory Offers Virtual Counselling Services

Cory is a registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW).

Reaching out for support takes incredible courage and strength. I know this because I have been there myself, overcoming my own personal struggles with anxiety and depression as an adolescent and young adult. I’ve been in your shoes. I know how overwhelming and lonely it can feel. My own journey is what inspired me to become a Social Worker and dedicate my career to helping others. I strive to provide a genuine, compassionate, supportive, nonjudgmental and safe space for others to talk about their own struggles, support their goals and be part of their journey to wellness. You can do this!
