Welcome!

My name is Alexandria Butterfield, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, B.C

 I work with pre-teens, adolescents and adults expand on their existing strengths and develop coping skills to make their lives easier. Often times those who come to me describe themselves as their own biggest critic. While they may be going through the motions day to day, underneath they are struggling with repetitive thoughts and confusion of why things feel so hard. Through counselling, my clients are able to better understand themselves, improve their relationships and feel more connected to their values and goals. A common phrase that I use is that "healing doesn't have to be this hard" and counselling sessions can balance talking about the really tough stuff while celebrating the wins and bringing humour into the therapy process. 

 

My specialties include:

  • Anxiety

  • Self Esteem

  • School Stress

  • Workplace Burnout

  • Disordered Eating,

  • Body Image Challenges

My Approach

In individual therapy, I work with clients to deepen their self-understanding and effectively navigate challenges. My top priority as a therapist is creating a non-judgemental space through curiosity and compassion. The methods I use are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Art Therapy. I enjoy collaborating with clients in problem-solving and offering strategies, empowering you to determine what approaches feel most aligned with your needs and values. As a clinician, I am committed to social justice, LGBTQ+ affirmation, and alignment with Health at Every Size (HAES) principles.
