Mental Health Therapist for Children and Youth

Special interest: Anxiety, self-esteem, behavioural issues, ADHD, families, relationships.

Hello! My name is Alexa. I’m a mental health therapist and social worker (MSW) with several years of experience helping youth, adults, and families work through mental health challenges and life stressors. I have worked as a therapist and social worker in non-profit organizations including domestic violence shelters and addiction services, as well as medical and outpatient hospital settings.

I am here to help you or your child if they are struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, ADHD, and trauma. I want to hear about the problems your child may be facing at school or at home. I like to support my clients with improving their self-esteem and help them identify and work toward their unique goals. I have a passion for helping my clients navigate the relationships in their life; whether it be helping them work through conflicts or complicated dynamics or helping them to build and maintain support systems that are positive and meaningful.

I use a variety of approaches from interpersonal and family psychotherapies that are evidence-based, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT), Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Motivation Interviewing (MI). I am also learning about Child-Centered Play Therapy and am working toward training to be come certified through the Canadian Association for Play Therapy.

If you’d like to learn more about my services, please contact me.
