Macy Sharp

Get to know me!

I am registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers as a Social Worker and Psychotherapist. I have a Master's degree in Social Work and a Bachelor's degree in Criminology & Justice (with Honors).

 

I am currently trained and certified in the following areas:

• Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (Intensive training)

• Child and Family Trauma Professional​

• Depression and Mood Certification​

• Equine-assisted therapist

• Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy 

• Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD 

• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

Ever since I was a child, I absolutely adored animals -especially horses. Not only did I provide equine-assisted therapy but I also ride horses during my leisure time. If I'm not riding or caring for horses, you might find me crafting, baking or being outside.

I find being in nature can be so therapeutic- I wanted my website to reflect this passion. I was the first in my family to pursue post-secondary education, which has its own set of pressures. Initially, I aimed to become a criminal attorney to support those in need. My passion for justice shifted when I realized that I wanted to actively make a difference—helping people navigate systems, make tough choices, and discovering their strengths. After earning my bachelor's degree, I knew social work was the right path for me.

Combining insights from criminology and social work, along with my lived experiences, I approach my work with a unique perspective. I'm proud of what I've accomplished and my practice reflects my strengths; whether it's conducting research and structured plans or embracing my creative side with innovative and metaphor-driven thinking, I strive to make a meaningful impact.
