Who Do You Work With in Therapy?
Hi, I’m Alex, the founder of Ash Wellness and a Registered Psychotherapist based in Toronto. I offer in-person therapy in Toronto near Dupont & Shaw, along with online sessions for clients across Ontario. I work with children ages 10+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship-related anxieties, ADHD, autism, and more.
What to Expect in Therapy
Feeling Disconnected From Yourself?
When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to begin. Many people I work with are carrying anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, guilt, or shame. If you feel disconnected from yourself, you deserve support that feels compassionate, grounded, and unrushed.
What Is Your Approach to Therapy?
My work is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches. Together, we explore patterns that keep you stuck, build practical tools, and grow self-compassion.
What Is Therapy With You Like?
Reaching out can feel vulnerable. Therapy doesn’t mean fixing yourself or having it all figured out. It’s a space to slow down, feel understood, and take meaningful steps forward at your own pace.
