Alexandra Bohnen, Senior Counsellor

Pronouns: she / her

Hi, I’m Alexandra and I think we could all use a little help.

I’m devoted to providing inclusive, accessible therapy to all who want it, reaching out with empathy and compassion to heal the wounds we bear by simply being human.

I am experienced in providing individual therapy for adults who struggle with relationships, identity, sexuality, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, phobias, stress management, and more. I believe strongly in helping my clients dig deep to understand themselves better, bringing forth their natural strengths and resources. To do so, I cultivate a warm and non-judgmental space in which you can feel safe and empowered to explore your challenges.

I work in a person-centered manner, meeting you where you are at and encouraging meaningful change. Informed by a variety of modalities, I adapt my practice to suit each individual.

I am committed to ethical practice, attending regular supervision. In my professional development, my passion is in learning more about attachment and the patterns we develop to survive our childhood or other situations that no longer serve us.
