Alex Sellors
MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Hello and welcome! I'm Alex and I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist. I have a master's degree in social work and a bachelor's degree in psychology. I have worked in the social services and mental health field for 12 years and have been practicing counselling and psychotherapy for 8 years. Prior to private practice, my work primarily involved crisis work in the emergency department and community.​
​
I have a special interest in working with first responders in both the prevention and treatment of occupational stress injuries/PTSD. I have experience working with a variety of public safety personnel, including police, fire, EMS, 911 dispatchers, and corrections. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I will ask for your input, preferences, and goals. I try to bring my authentic self into my sessions and I incorporate a healthy dose of humour when appropriate. If you feel like we could be a good fit, I’d be happy to schedule a meet and greet to review your goals for therapy.
