Alyssa Maria Associate Counsellor (MA, RCC)

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor specializing in supporting individuals aged 16 and older as they navigate the complexities of trauma and mental health. I specialize in counselling for PTSD, substance use, and other complex mental health concerns. I also focus on stress managment, domestic violence, relational distress, and support for those affected by sexual assault. 

With lived experience of addiction and having overcome significant adversity, I bring a deep understanding of the struggles my clients face. My aim is to create a safe, welcoming environment where individuals feel heard and understood. Known for my direct and honest approach, I believe in the healing power of authenticity, striving to help clients maximize their growth during our sessions.

In my practice, I prioritize a non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences and emotions. I emphasize collaboration, working together to develop personalized strategies for recovery and personal growth. My approach is rooted in compassion, and I am committed to supporting each person on their unique healing journey 

I am passionate about advocating for those who face systemic barriers and am dedicated to fostering positive change in their lives. Together, we can work towards a brighter future, free from the burdens of past trauma, and empower you to embrace your path to healing.
