Alex Sellors
MSW, RSW, EMDR Certified Therapist
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 11 years and have been
practicing counselling and psychotherapy for 7 years. I have worked in emergency departments, mobile crisis teams, palliative care and covid units, outpatient mental health, and in the community as an outreach worker; I have seen firsthand the impact of trauma in many shapes and forms. After experiencing my own occupational stress and trauma, I developed an even deeper understanding of what trauma is and how to heal.
My hope is to provide a space where you can feel understood, validated, and motivated to move forward. I will work with you to understand yourself on a deeper level and to address root causes of current life problems. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I will ask for your input and preferences. My practice is EMDR-focused but I typically integrate other forms of therapy as well. For specific types of therapy provided and issues treated, please continue reading below.
