Hello! I am Alessandra, a pre-licensed counsellor committed to supporting individuals facing concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, emotional challenges or those who want to improve their self-well-being. I offer counselling sessions in a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore their concerns and disclosure. I can offer services in English, Spanish or Portuguese (Brazil). My collaborative, client-centred approach combines CBT, ACT, SFT, and IFS to meet each person’s unique needs, guiding them toward healing and growth.
We can work together through your personal challenges, emotions, and goals, empowering you to build resilience, self-awareness, confidence, emotional balance, and healthier coping strategies. I offer a range of strategies to tailor treatment to client needs.
Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. You do not have to navigate these challenges alone. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward at your own pace. See you!

I like to use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with my clients when appropriate. In our first free session together, we will explore what brought you to seek therapy and discuss the best approach for your needs and goals. I believe that different clients have different needs, and therefore require individualized support and therapeutic approaches.
