Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I am a registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), as well as a Canadian Clinical Counsellor (CCC) licensed with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). I completed my Masters degree in Clinical Counselling Psychology at Adler University in Vancouver, Canada.
I have had the privilege of working with clients from an age-range of twelve to eighty-five, all from different backgrounds, experiences and walks of life. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of presenting problems, and adapt my skills as a psychotherapist to meet who I am working with, where they are.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe that some of our lived experiences may leave a long-lasting impact on our brain functioning and the way we see the world. Everything may seem blurry and scary at times, and we may have a tendency to want to control the process of healing by minimizing the pain and controlling our emotions only to find out it is making us feel even more stuck and in pain. I believe that healing is possible if we take time and allow it to be fully processed, acknowledged, felt, and moved through by being more present with ourselves.
