Hello
I'm Colleen Rainey
Doctoral Student
Scope: Therapy
Language: English
Colleen is a PsyD student in Clinical Psychology at Adler University, with a Master of Industrial & Organizational Psychology (2020) and a B.A. (Hons.) in Psychology (2009). She works with clients across a range of ages and backgrounds, supporting them through a wide variety of mental health challenges, life transitions, and the process of healing from trauma.
Since Fall of 2024, Colleen has been part of the team at MyPsychology BC, where she has helped clients navigate difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life stressors. She takes a hopeful, collaborative approach, encouraging clients to explore their strengths, gain insight, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
Colleen first discovered her passion for clinical psychology as an undergraduate while assisting with mood disorders research at the Royal Ottawa Hospital. Her career path has included work as an organizational coach in human resources, where she supported individuals in reaching their goals, and she now brings that same curiosity, empathy, and problem-solving spirit to her clinical work.
She values creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported in making positive changes. Outside of work and study, Colleen enjoys reading memoirs and non-fiction, spending time in nature, travelling, and being with family and friends.
