Hello there and welcome!! My name is Alexandria and I am a Registered Social Worker. I would welcome the opportunity to offer you support and guidance through any challenging life experience you are currently facing. My specializations include: Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Psychopathic Disorder. Alexandria feels many individuals and/or counsellors do not truly understand the magnitude of the damage and devastating effect on others that personality disorders create. Through personal experience she has gained a greater understanding and compassion for those impacted.

Are you hurting inside? Maybe you feel lonely and alone with a pain and suffering that only gets worse. You worry about what you do or don't do. You worry how others see you, or about how you feel. Maybe you don't like yourself very much. Your life seems to have gotten smaller. Relationships have you feeling confused, broken, scared, lost or just numb so you avoid them. You don't know how to go forward even though you've been trying and searching for help. You are worried that things will never get better in your life. You ask yourself, "Will I ever get better?"

Everyone suffers or gets stuck at some point in life. Are you bothered by symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, or chronic health problems? Any food and body image issues?

I offer a supportive compassionate space that helps you resolve or manage these concerns so you can a sense of hope and well-being. You don't have to tough it out alone.

Hello! I am currently taking new clients and can offer short wait times. I work with adults who are seeking help with life changes, relationship challenges, parenting challenges, mental health issues (in themselves or in their partners), or anything that is preventing them from being their best self. Ideally my clients would be interested in getting to the root of their issues, and be committed to several sessions. I know we are all "enough", and that the answers we seek lie within ourselves. Sometimes a counsellor can help you find those answers, and I'd be honored to try.

I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, self esteem, stress, and anger issues, to do just that. I help individuals become aware of the thought patterns that keep them stuck and prevent them from living their life to the fullest. I show people how their thoughts, emotions and behaviours are linked and provide the necessary skills to change negative habits that have become normal over time.

Male mental health challenges such as depression, relationship conflict and anxiety are not that much different than women's. These challenges can hold us in place, in fear, in hopelessness, in pain. Confronting behaviours, thinking and feelings that may be the root of a life not lived well takes courage. Sometimes we need help doing that to move us forward and improve the quality of our life. You may be struggling on your own or in a relationship. It doesn't matter neither place feels good. My intent is to help you navigate the obstacles and make sense of your story so you can get to where you want to be sooner.

As a Certified Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor, I believe every person has a right to share their story. I provide a safe environment where people can process and gain the insights and awareness they are seeking. I deal with the root issue(s), not just the symptoms of the problems that are presented. Many have no where to turn and feel trapped in their issues, whether shame, fear, loneliness, anger, or hurt. These feelings are often deep-rooted and have not been recognized, acknowledged and shared with someone non-judgmental. As we share our life stories with someone objective we are able to find the healing we need.

What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.
How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.
Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.
How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
