Practicum Student Counsellor -Codie McQuay (she/her)
Codie is a Master of Counselling student at Athabasca University, currently completing her practicum placement with Laskey Therapy. Codie is available for individual and couples therapy. She uses an integrative therapeutic approach, which uses therapeutic models and styles best suited to each individual’s needs and preferences.
Some models of therapy Codie draws upon are the Satir Method of Family Systems Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, Imago, the Gottman approach, Existential person-centred approaches and relational-based therapeutic models. A trust-based approach is the foundation of Codie’s style as a therapist. Codie believes that relationships of all kinds are the basis for healing and focuses on creating a strong interpersonal connection with clients as a foundation for therapy to occur. As a learning designer, executive coach, and change management professional, Codie knows that learning and change go hand in hand. She draws inspiration from therapists and psychologists like Ester Perel, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, Irvin Yalom, Carl Rogers, The Hendricks, Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt, Vigina Stair, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, The Gottman’s, Becky Kennedy, Marshall Rosenberg, Maria Gerber, Janet Jilian, Dossie Eaton, Janey W. Hardy and Jessica Fern.
Codie has a wealth of experience working with groups and within executive settings with adults in times of transition. She is also committed to using a CRSJ Lens (Culturally Responsive and Socially Just) within her therapeutic practice and identifies as a white-cis-gendered neuro-divergent woman.
She is passionate about supporting people to live rich and meaningful lives on their own terms. Driven by a curiosity of self-full intimacy and the joy connecting with others brings, she offers her clients gentle support, empathy, and wisdom practices of self-inquiry to support a deeper sense of self in the world.
