I am VERY excited to announce that Ali Steer will be starting her Masters of Counselling Psychology student placement with my practice this Spring! Please message me if you are interested in FREE supervised sessions with this lovely, compassionate human.
More about Ali:
"My name is Ali. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) student counsellor completing my Master’s of Counselling Psychology. My winding path as a multi-passionate individual has led me to work with people of all ages in a variety of settings and capacities.
I am a qualified teacher, an outdoor experiential educator, certified yoga instructor, musician, artist and an experienced therapeutic wilderness canoe and hiking guide. I have experience working with at-risk-youth and teens in a therapeutic context (ages 12-18) and experience teaching students ages 4-60+. My work has often revolved around creating a space where people feel cared for, the empowerment of others, harnessing purpose and momentum, practicing self-compassion and building resiliency in all sorts of settings - hiking through the forest, sitting on a park bench, paddling the ocean, cross-legged skipping stones, floating down a river, swinging in a playground, seated in a classroom, balancing in a studio...
I live, play, grieve, sing, explore, pause, grow, reflect, create, and work on traditional Anishinabek territory in North Bay, Ontario. I feel closest to myself and most connected when I am immersed in nature (be that in the Boreal forests of Northern Ontario, the lush moss-covered temperate rainforests of the west coast, amongst the peaked mountains of the interior, or along the crashing smoothrock shores of Lake Superior) and I feel strongest and most aligned with my purpose when I am helping others. I am curious, a divergent thinker, devoted to compassion, care and growth, creative and adaptable in my approach to working with people." - Ali Steer
