Greetings! I’m Alexis Silverman (she/her), and I’m a student therapist looking for new clients. My practice is based on the principle that everyone needs a calm, safe, non-judgmental, and anti-oppressive space to find and express their authentic selves. I like to meet individuals with curiosity, kindness, humour, empathy and compassion, and my practice is a place for adolescents and adults of all ages to find respite, resilience and relief from any of life’s problems, no matter how messy. I’m trauma-informed, and I use aspects of relational and existential therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused brief therapy to create a therapeutic relationship that meets the client where they’re at. As well, I’m a registered practitioner of Matrix Reimprinting, a somatic-based therapy that involves emotional freedom technique (EFT) and inner child work. This practice is known to be particularly useful for individuals with histories of trauma and issues from childhood. I’m also a registered nurse who has spent over 20 years supporting emergency service workers with trauma. I currently work part-time as a nurse on an in-patient psychiatry unit at a Toronto hospital.
