Alex Spears, MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker
It's important that you can be yourself and ensure that the process is collaborative. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
Hi! I'm Alex. I’m a calm and easy-going social worker practicing psychotherapy in Muskoka. Like everyone else, I'm human. I've been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help.
I enjoy working with youth and adults. I often draw from an internal family systems and strengths-based perspective, while empowering clients to explore their patterns, relationships, and past experiences as a way to understand their present ways of being.
I hold a Master of Social Work Degree and my experience comes from working in community mental health and private practice. I apply various evidence-based, integrative techniques for treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I have a strong passion for supporting women through their reproductive journey, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.
You can ask me questions about my approach and we can decide together how I can help. Reach out today for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
