Hello, my name is Alexandra Paproski.
I am a bilingual, empathetic and solutions-focused Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) dedicated to exceptional care and building effective treatment plans for individuals, couples, families and work teams.
I have been a counsellor for over 10 years, having worked for OneSky Community Resources, and now work in private practice. Prior to counselling, I held roles with community service, finance, tourism, retail and government organizations.
Clients appreciate my attention and memory for detail, my ability to meet them where they are, and my sense of humour amidst what can be difficult life moments to maneuver. I work easily with diverse client populations, and have an inherent ability to manage all types of personalities, defuse stressful situations, mediate dilemmas, and solve problems when needed.
When working I bring a thoughtful consultative nature, a warm presence, and am as good a trouble-shooter as they come. I have a compassionate and caring demeanor and feel privileged to hold space for human healing.
