Therapists near North Shore helping All Clientele with All Clinical Issues

Welcome! My name is Alex Alburquenque. I am a dedicated clinical counsellor and registered social worker offering trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered counselling services in Kamloops, BC, as well as virtually. With a deep passion for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), I help clients process and heal from traumas as well as gain understanding and compassion for themselves and what they have experienced. I am also trained in CBT and DBT, which allows me to support clients in managing anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. As a queer therapist, I provide an inclusive, safe and affirming space for individuals from all walks of life. My love for art, video games, and nature is woven into my practice by helping me connect with clients in creative and meaningful ways. When I’m not in session, I enjoy spending time in nature, traveling, reading, and caring for my two beloved feline fur children. If you’re looking for a therapist who values authenticity, empathy, and personalized care, I’m here to support your journey to healing, self-discovery and self-compassion.
