For many of us, it's easy to allow our mental health to take a backseat in our everyday lives. We may rely on distractions but we know that it’s time to look for support when we look to maintain a healthier relationship with our mental health.
I work with seniors, adults, children and teens who are seeking treatment in the management of anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, suicidal ideation, school/work, stress/burnout, women’s issues, couple's issues, and family conflict.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, my hope is to support clients who are looking to address these matters in a safe, non-judgmental zone.

Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and want support in understanding what they are experiencing.

Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences are connected while developing practical tools to manage challenges more effectively. My goal is to help clients build greater self awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and create a stronger sense of balance and well being in their lives.

Are you struggling with the challenges of balancing your cultural identities and values? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships, or overwhelmed by life transitions?

You don't need a catastrophic event to carry trauma. Trauma isn't just what happened; it's a dysregulated nervous system stuck in survival mode—leaving you in an anxious buzz, a heavy depression, or feeling disconnected. Sickness happens when you live out of sync with who you truly are. Most people waste years managing symptoms, but we intervene at your identity. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or ready to bypass slow progress, the Becoming Institute treats you as a whole person: physical, mental, and spiritual. We help you align your daily life with your true self so trauma responses naturally drop away.

My name is Alessia Cerundolo, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Q) at Measuring What Matters. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. You might not have all the words yet—or even know exactly where to start—and that’s okay. I value creating a space that feels grounded, supportive, and non-judgmental. Therapy with me is not about having the “right” things to say, but about being able to show up honestly, at your own pace. I see therapy as a shared process—one where you bring your experiences, and I help guide exploration, understanding, and change.

You can look like you have it together, the achievements, the to-do list, the high standards, and still feel a quiet emptiness underneath, like you're not sure who you are or what it's all for. Maybe you people-please until you've lost track of what you actually want, second-guess every decision, or feel like a fraud waiting to be found out. Maybe a breakup, a career change, or just getting older has left you asking the bigger questions about meaning and direction. None of this means you're failing. More often it means you're ready to build a life that actually feels like yours.

Congratulations, you have taken the first step towards healing! Recognizing that you need support on this path of healing is the first of many milestones. When situations occur in our lives, whether in the past or present, naturally as human beings we begin to feel depressed, anxious, isolated, and etc. Simple day-to-day activities, which were once like second nature, have become very difficult. Perhaps days, months or even years have gone by and you still feel “stuck” – if this sounds familiar, we can work together to learn how to cope and live with a new reality.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether your therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
What are the advantages of seeing a female therapist?
Many people - not just women - prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. Women who see a female therapist may also feel freer to discuss challenges that are closely tied to gender, such as life transitions including motherhood or menopause. Some clients who instinctively feel more comfortable disclosing to women may find it easier to broach sensitive subjects with a female therapist. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Is therapy different for men and women?
Therapy can be different for men and women insofar as gender plays a role in the challenges an individual faces and the events in life an individual has experienced. Women often face different expectations from their families, friends, and society than men do. In some cases, women might feel most comfortable expressing themselves differently from how men do. Talking about one's feelings and emotions is a critical part of most therapies, and some women might find it comes more naturally when talking to a female therapist. Ultimately, though, therapeutic treatment should be tailored to the individual's specific needs.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK - even encouraged! - to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
