Getting to know Alexandria Gariepy

Hi there, I'm Alexandria! Thank you for taking the time to click my profile. I appreciate you taking this first step—it's not easy to prioritize our mental health. I'm really looking forward to getting to know you and hearing from you soon. My focus I'm a proud Biracial woman, and it's my privilege to support clients of all backgrounds. I've worked with survivors of abuse, young adults transitioning into adulthood, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and those navigating self-identity including LGBTQ+, gender identity, sexual identity, and race and ethnicity. My approach My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. I focus on what happened, not what's wrong with you. There's more to you than just symptoms or past events. I want to understand who you are on a personal level, not just see you as a diagnosis. We'll always take things at your own pace. My communication style Open communication and trust are critical parts of our time together. I'll always be my most authentic self in our sessions, and I look forward to sharing space with you. Creating a safe space where you don't feel judged is very important to me. I lead with curiosity and empathy in my practice. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into therapy started with a deep curiosity about people, shaped by moving around the world and experiencing different cultures. I've worked with unhoused youth, trans youth and their families, and survivors in hospital, school, and court settings. It's been an honor to see my clients grow over the years. My goals for you Growth and healing aren't linear. It's critical that you feel your needs are being met and that we're working together to help you meet your goals. The way we define success can look very different. I want to celebrate the small victories with you and help you grow on this journey. Our first session A first therapy session can seem intimidating, especially when you don't know what to expect.
