ALICIA CLARKE

Registered CLinical COunsellor

registered social worker


Hi, I’m Alicia — a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Registered Social Worker. I’m passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered in their mental health journey. I work from a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed lens, and I believe that everyone has the ability to create meaningful change in their lives.

I love supporting teens and young adults as they navigate life transitions, manage anxiety and stress, build confidence, and explore their identity and goals. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I'm here to help you move forward with curiosity and compassion.

In sessions, I draw from a variety of approaches depending on what best supports your needs — including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based practices, and Self-Regulation Therapy. I always aim to tailor my approach to fit you as a unique individual. Don't like an approach? Let's try another one together. My work often focuses on areas like anxiety, self-esteem, academic or career stress, trauma, and life transitions — particularly for teens and young adults who are trying to figure out who they are and where they want to go.

Outside of the counselling room, I’m someone who recharges by spending time in nature, reading a good novel, or catching up with friends and family. I love staying active and after work, you can usually find me at the gym or on a walk, but I've recently tried Pilates and have been challenged by that. I’m also a big fan of travel and exploring new places — even if it’s just a cozy local bookstore or a new walking trail.

I've spent time around the world and find so much joy in learning about other cultures and languages. Staying grounded and connected in my own life helps me show up fully for the people I support.
