Alice Mendelev
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) - MACP (IN PROGRESS)
I’m Alice Mendelev, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and therapist-in-training completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. My journey began through yoga and mindfulness, where I discovered the healing power of presence, connection, and self-awareness. This evolved into a deep passion for supporting others in navigating anxiety, identity, and self-esteem challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with warmth, cultural sensitivity, creating a safe, collaborative space for growth and healing. Drawing from both personal and professional experience, I aim to help clients reconnect with their self-compassion, authenticity and balance.
My goal is for each session to feel like a safe space to process, heal, and grow.

My Approach
My approach is integrative, blending mindfulness, attachment, and psychodynamic perspectives to support each client’s unique needs. I focus on creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and patterns without judgement. Together, we work to uncover underlying meanings behind thoughts and behaviours, building awareness and emotional resilience. I would incorporate grounding techniques, reflective dialogue and strength-based interventions to help clients reconnect with themselves and develop healthier coping tools.
Mindfulness Based
This modality encourages present-moment awareness and self-compassion to help clients manage stress, anxiety, greater calm and clarity.
Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
This modality focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to promote healthier emotional responses and coping skills.
Emotion-focused (EFT)
This approach is based on helping clients understand and process emotions in a safe space, fostering emotional awareness, regulation, and transformation.
Attachment Based
This modality emphasizes the importance of relationships and emotional bonds, supporting clients in developing secure connections with themselves and others.
