Alex Adams Psychotherapist

"I offer a safe, warm, and welcoming space, where you will know that I care about you and that I want to help in any way I can. No matter who we are, we all go through struggles; whether that be with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal issues or our own self-doubt. I will work with you to navigate your life, uncover and help you live the life you want to live."

  • Individual Therapy, (Ages 15+)
  • Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Grief, Youth, Relationships, Interpersonal Conflicts

Are you struggling with life and how it seemingly feels like a constant uphill battle? Are you finding it hard to cope with painful emotions? Are you finding it hard to live life and escape from your own hardships?

I recognize that life can be a real struggle, and it can be hard to put yourself out there and be vulnerable. Acknowledging that you are struggling and recognizing you must do something to help change your life is in many ways the hardest thing to do. To take a step towards making that change, I offer a non-judgmental space for you to come in and be as open (and authentic) as you need to be. I will walk alongside you and act as a guide offering different approaches to help you;  while we work together to understand your life experience, strengths, and inner resources you have inside.

I am best described as empathic, understanding, a good listener, collaborative, at times humorful, and authentic in my work with clients. I approach the therapeutic relationship from a place of deep understanding and appreciation that you are an expert in your own life. Coming in to guide you with your life to try and improve it, to help you feel heard and infuse this into a collaborative treatment plan together!

Here is a brief summary of the issues in which I  specialize for adults, teens (+12), and couples:

anxiety
depression
grief/bereavement/loss
anger
chronic pain
trauma
parenting
relationships
work
teen and male issues
life transitions, adjustments
finding meaning/purpose/existential crisis

I will use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Throughout my different approaches, there are three big values for me: acceptance, client-centred, and strength-based. At the end of the day, I am here to help and guide with an approach that best fits your specific needs. I want you to walk out of the sessions feeling heard and understanding why and how we are working together to strive to impact your life positively.To ensure you feel as comfortable as possible coming into the first session (while also getting to know what you want out of therapy), I offer a free 15 phone consultation. I am currently offering video and telephone services. Feel free to reach out to me at any time if you have any more questions about me or my practice.

Email or call anytime for a free consultation!
