Linda Mackay
MSW, RSW
Linda Mackay is a Registered Social Worker and co-owner of the newly partnered RGA and The Space Within. She started her adult life as a professional actor, and then transitioned into her second act in mental health, to examine the human condition off the stage. She began this journey working with those living with the impact of gender-based violence and intimate partner abuse.
After her studies, she worked at The University of Waterloo in Psychological and Counselling Services and then shifted into private practice as co-owner with the founders of The Space Within in 2012.
Over the course of her practice, Linda has had advanced training in mindfulness based modalities (DBT, MBCT, ACT, Self Compassion) and is certified to lead Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy groups. She is also a trained EMDR practitioner for trauma, anxiety and stress, and is a certified yoga teacher and LifeForce® Yoga Practitioner (which is the integration of yoga practices for mental health therapy). She also works with those who are moving through a significant change or transition, grief and loss and chronic pain.
Linda is an approved supervisor for practicum students (MSW’s and RP(Q)’s), as well as practicing therapists seeking consultations.
