Alexandria Parsons, MA, RCC

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in good standing with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, with over a decade of experience supporting youth and adults from diverse backgrounds.

Since beginning my practice in 2012, I have worked alongside individuals navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief and loss, burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, boundary setting, identity exploration, and major life transitions. My clinical work is informed by both frontline therapeutic practice and my roles as a clinical supervisor and consultant, where I support clinicians and multidisciplinary teams in providing thoughtful, ethical, and trauma-informed care.

My approach is grounded in a feminist therapy framework and integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based self-compassion practices. This allows our work to be both structured and flexible, attuned to your goals, values, and the broader context of your life.

In our work together, I aim to understand your concerns without judgment or pathologizing. I believe that many of the patterns people struggle with developed for good reasons and were once protective or necessary. Rather than trying to “fix” yourself, we focus on increasing awareness, compassion, and choice, so that change can happen in a way that feels respectful, sustainable, and aligned with who you are.

I bring my real self into the counselling space and value a collaborative, relational approach to therapy. My hope is to support you in developing a deeper understanding of yourself, greater self-trust, and a kinder relationship with your internal experiences.

Together, we will work toward greater clarity, resilience, and a sense of ease, creating space for healing while honouring the wisdom in your lived experience.
