Kelly Alexander, Registered Psychotherapist in Guelph, Ontario
Hello, I’m Kelly, a registered psychotherapist in Guelph, Ontario. As a therapist who is multiply disabled and proudly mid-fat, I embrace this language to describe my body in a non-stigmatizing way. This self-acceptance has been a journey of unlearning and re-learning, which I continue to navigate.
With 15 years of experience, I hold degrees in Fine Arts, Psychology, and Education. Recently, I completed an intensive internship in Intuitive Herbalism (plant spirit medicine) and advocate for the medical and spiritual use of cannabis. I am also trained in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and offer consultations within a harm reduction framework.
My practice is grounded in an integrated holistic model, focusing on decolonizing therapeutic approaches and addressing cultural appropriation. I frequently utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) methodology, which aligns with my belief in the power of self-compassion in therapy.
