Alyssa Bonneville

Clinical Director, Registered Psychotherapist, Supervisor

* Not Currently Accepting New Clients

I believe that the most fundamental step towards effective therapy is a strong and trusting relationship between the client and the therapist, therefore it is a top priority in the work I do. I operate from a collaborative approach to therapy, where clients are fully involved in the therapeutic process, as this facilitates the most success and growth. I work tirelessly to support my clients in achieving their goals and reducing their distress. My overall goal is to facilitate a therapeutic process which empowers clients to find happiness, balance, health, and well-being.

I work from an integrative style of therapy. I use a variety of techniques and theoretical approaches in order to best suit each individual client’s needs. Some of the therapeutic theories that are drawn upon are Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior, Satir and many others. My flexible approach integrates various well-researched theories and processes to help facilitate the meaningful changes you seek.
