AALIYA BLAIS-BATRES
Hi, I'm Aaliya, a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO. I work with young adults and adults (18+) who struggle with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, people-pleasing, relational challenges, ADHD, and trauma. I employ an integrative approach to therapy, using mainly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and EMDR.
I start by creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Together, we uncover the patterns and beliefs that keep you feeling stuck, and develop tools to help you set boundaries, build confidence, and reconnect with your sense of self and relationships.
I offer a warm, inclusive, and collaborative environment, where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change, so you can move forward with greater calm, clarity, and self-trust.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, playing with my dog, and watching a good movie or TV show.
I would be honoured to connect with you for a free, no-obligation video or phone consultation to assess our fit together.
