Hello! My name is Lana Alencar. I have completed my graduate studies at Providence University and Seminary with a Masters in Counselling. I am currently registered with the Professional Association of Christian Counsellors and Psychotherapists in Canada.

 

My approach to therapy is person-centered, as I believe that all of us have the power to change and make decisions that can impact our lives positively. I believe that each client has the inner ability to overcome difficulties and hardship. Throughout my life I have had many different experiences working with couples, families, and teenagers. During my time as a therapist I have worked with individuals of diverse backgrounds with varying issues including: self-worth, trauma, sexuality, spirituality, addictions, depression, anxiety, boundary setting, relational stress, and immigration and cultural issues.

 

My therapeutical practice incorporates a diverse set of theories including cognitive behaviour therapy, solution focused, narrative, and emotion focused therapy.  

 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I also like travelling, learning more about other cultures, and reading.
