Mackenzie Fournier

Anxiety that loops, self-criticism that never quite quiets, a fraught relationship with food and body image — these are the struggles Mackenzie Fournier knows how to sit with and work through. A Registered Psychotherapist based in Ottawa and offering online sessions across Ontario, Mackenzie works with people who feel perpetually overwhelmed: those carrying burnout, chronic stress, low self-worth, and the exhausting habit of putting everyone else first.

Her work is warm and collaborative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches — alongside a trauma-informed, mind-body perspective that recognizes how stress lives not just in thought patterns but in the body itself. That might mean exploring why certain conversations replay on a loop at 2 a.m., or untangling the guilt that follows a meal, or noticing how the pull to check a phone at dinner quietly signals something worth paying attention to in how someone connects — or disconnects — with the people around them.

Clients tend to leave sessions with steadier emotions, clearer boundaries, and a more forgiving relationship with themselves. Mackenzie’s goal is simply to offer a space where people can arrive exactly as they are and move, gradually, toward something more grounded.
