About Me
Alexandre (Alex) Madore
MA, MSW, RSW (Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist)
Hey, there! I'm thrilled you've made it to my page. Consider it the first step of your personal wellness journey.
My name is Alex and I'm the founder of Friluft Psychotherapy. I help LGBTQIA+ folks, healthcare workers, and post-secondary students navigate challenges of depression, anxiety, life transitions, sexuality and self-esteem.
My approach centres on providing you with a kind, non-judgmental space to focus on your well-being, while recognising the healing power of genuine and empathetic human connection.
I view therapy as a collaborative journey where clients are the experts on their own lives.
