Alexandra Bond View Specialties

COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR: INDVIDUALS, COUPLES, AND FAMILIES

I provide Counselling and Psychotherapy to Teens, Adults, and Couples within a supportive and relaxed atmosphere. As a Depression and Relationship Specialist, I will support you through Depression or low mood and help you to improve your Relationship(s), Self Esteem, and Confidence. Additionally, we will locate the situational stressors that may be causing you related stress or anxiety that often accompanies depression and low mood. These stressors might include relationship strain, separation or divorce, grief, or a life transition such as marriage, a move or new job, pregnancy, or shifting into or completing university. I view each client as unique, and we work together to find the best options and solutions for you. Sessions are supportive and nonjudgmental, and you may even have a laugh as I find--at times--a sense of humour compliments the therapeutic process. Clients consistently state that I am "very easy to talk to," and rarely 'drop out'.

I am now offering Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), which is a short term evidence based model for the treatment of clients with depression or low mood due to the stressors mentioned above. IPT is recommended by the Canadian and American Psychiatric and Psychological Associations as the gold standard of treatment equal in its effectiveness to CBT. I work in affiliation with a highly experienced Psychologist who also happens to be the Director of the Institute for Interpersonal Therapy. This affiliation offers the opportunity to use extended Psychologist Coverage.

I strive to work in a compassionate, effective, and ethical manner and your happiness is a top priority. You can choose to work in a Solution Focused short term approach, or a longer term approach. Both approaches are supportive, and offer the opportunity for insight, positve change, and personal growth.
