Practice Information
Dr. Jacqueline McAdam is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who meets clients virtually. I have been working in the field for over forty years as a psychotherapist, researcher and instructor in the mental health field. My area of interest and expertise is rooted in the field of positive psychology with a specific focus on theories of resilience. Have you ever wondered why some seem to manage stress more easily than others? My practice addresses many pathways of life, our transitions, our mental health, our mental challenges and those unexpected adversities that set us back. I have spent a great deal of time in Africa working to mitigate the trauma of war on children, youth and families. I utilize a Resilience Framework to assess and address the presenting challenges. If you want more information, my book, More than Luck, Cultivating a Resilient Mindset-Navigating Life and Adversity, might be helpful.
My therapeutic practice draws on theories of resiliency, positive psychology, humanistic psychology, the Satir Model, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and IFS. I continually adjust and shape my therapeutic practice to meet the needs of those I work with. One size does not fit all.
You are the master of your destiny. I work to help you make informed choices by providing tools and resources that foster reflection and self-understanding. I believe each of us possesses a wealth of wisdom that is often undervalued. My practice seeks to help you uncover your authentic self and thrive despite the odds. If the times provided below do not work for you, please let me know. I am flexible.
