Person-Centered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Motivational Interviewing Integrated Care

Whether you need help with problem-solving, getting through life’s hardships, building connections, or just want someone to listen without judgment, I’m here for you.

My therapeutic style involves integrating multiple modalities in order to best serve my clients. Doing so allows me to respect and accommodate intersectional identities, past experiences, and personal beliefs in a way that a “one modality fits all” approach does not.

The main modalities I work to integrate into care include Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I take a harm reduction approach in therapy, integrating feminist theories and trauma-informed care in my practice.

My goal is to provide clients with an accepting space where they feel comfortable and able to explore their authentic selves. I believe in creating therapeutic goals collaboratively with my clients, as they are the true experts when it comes to their life experiences. Through providing validation and support, I hope to help people feel better about themselves and reach their goals.

Who I Support I believe that therapy should be available to any person who needs or wants it, which is why I am proud to be part of a community that prioritizes compassion, support, and collective well-being for all, including populations which have historically been underserved.

I have great respect for diversity and unique life experiences. I have worked with a variety of clients including members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, BIPOC, seniors, teens, those with physical and intellectual disabilities, religious minorities, and more. No problem is too big or too small for us to handle together in therapy.

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio and get to know me a bit! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Inclusive | Trauma-Informed | Neurodivergent-Affirming | Strength-Based Support Supporting you in becoming your most authentic self with compassion, curiosity, and care. 💛🌿 I’m so glad you’re here. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and deeply present. In our sessions, you’re welcome to show up exactly as you are, no pressure, no judgment, just space to breathe, reflect, and begin again. Who I Support I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. With a longstanding career in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients across a broad spectrum of identities, cultures, abilities, and challenges. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, neurodivergence, sexual health, or simply seeking a space to feel understood, you are welcome here. My practice is inclusive, 2SLGBTQI+ affirming, body-positive, and neurodivergent-friendly. I bring a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and disability-aware lens to my work. My Approach My work is grounded in compassion, intuition, and lived experience. I draw from evidence-based and client-centred modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, attachment-based practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, guided imagery, and trauma-informed care. I also integrate elements of somatic awareness and psychoeducation to support regulation, self-understanding, and lasting change. Together, we’ll gently process emotional pain and trauma, uncover strengths, and move toward clarity, self-trust, and meaningful change. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, identity, and pace. Lived Experience Having worked in the mental health field for years and navigated systems not built to understand me fully, I know what it’s like to carry parts of yourself the world hasn’t always welcomed. These experiences have profoundly shaped the way I hold space: with deep empathy, humility, and respect for the whole of you. I’m also a nature lover and often find grounding through time outdoors and connection with animals. Whether it’s a quiet walk in the woods or goat yoga in a sunlit field, I believe in the healing power of presence, movement, and playful moments. A Space to Begin Again You don’t need to have it all figured out. This is a space where all parts of you are welcome, especially the ones that have felt invisible or not enough. If you’re ready to explore what’s been holding you back and step into a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and authentically yours, I’d be honoured to walk beside you on that journey. 💫

Strength-Based inclusive and Affirming Person-Centred LGBTQ+

My name is Alex (he/they). I am an adventurer, over thinker, artist, activist, loving partner, proud cat parent to two, and a student therapist!

As a queer, neurodivergent person, I understand the critical value in finding and creating affirmative and supportive spaces. My approach fuses person-centred therapy within an eclectic holistic approach that can be tailored to your personal background, concerns, and needs. Regardless of where you are in your journey my goal is to meet you where you are and offer support through a trauma-informed lens.

I can provide a space that fosters your ability to authentically explore yourself without judgment. Using inclusive and trauma-informed practices, we can explore identity, challenges, communication, anxiety, life transitions, or any other presenting concerns that you may have.

I want to help you build healthy coping mechanisms, strengthen your resilience, and build the self-esteem and positive regard you deserve to have for yourself.

Goal:

My goal is to provide inclusive and compassionate therapy that is mindful of cultural humility and intersectionality.

Who I help?

As a student therapist, I am excited to provide services to a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences. Each person is a unique individual, and I want you to feel seen, heard, and valued as such. I have experience in providing care for everyday challenges and life stressors, as well as more complex presentation of psychological dysfunction. Whether it be changes in life, exploration of identity, stress, or any other concern, our sessions will be a safe space to explore anything without fear of judgment.

As a queer person, I understand the value in having an individual who can provide an inclusive space to explore authentically and without judgment. I have a speciality in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, but I have experienced and am open to working with many other communities.

My name is Alex Zebeljan and I’m a Registered Psychotherapist. I offer individual and couples therapy virtually. As a therapist, my goal is that you feel seen, heard, and valued. During each session, I endeavour to create a virtual space wherein you can discover and be your most authentic self.

Some people arrive in session wanting to vent and cry. Some want to strategize and make a gameplan to improve their mental health. Some want to gain more insight into their patterns and see their choices from a compassionate, non-judgemental, objective perspective. Or maybe you want all of the above! We can do all of them together because we create goals collaboratively during sessions. You are the expert on what you need and want and I can help you get there, whatever that end result might look like for you.

As a mental health professional, my treatment specialties include gender and sexuality, LGBTQIA+, ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, boundaries, self-compassion and acceptance, stress management, body neutrality, family and relationship conflicts, emotional regulation, personal growth, depression, anxiety and trauma.

Since I believe each person who seeks therapy is unique, I individualize my therapeutic approach for each new client by using an integrative approach. The most common modalities that I integrate in treatment are Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Feminist Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Harm-Reduction.
