Ms. Pfaff has rich experience working with children, youth and adults throughout the lifespan in private, institutional, and not-for-profit settings. She has experience working with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, neurodiversity, life transitions, criminalization, homelessness or who are underhoused, and has speciality in working with grief and loss.

Ms. Pfaff strives to create a warm and welcoming space in which people feel supported and valued. Working from a non-judgemental and strengths-based approach, Alli integrates traditional talk-based methods with creative arts experiences as a means toward self-expression, exploration, and change. Ms. Pfaff recognizes the inherent creative and imaginative capacities of each person, regardless of any previous musical or artistic training. By engaging these capacities, difficult life experiences are processed, and insight or new possibilities are uncovered.

When she is not at the piano or guitar, she is busy raising her child, enjoying time with family and friends, and dancing her heart out in community.

Alli Pfaff Psychotherapy operates in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough area.

Alli Pfaff Psychotherapy acknowledges we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga (Michi Saagiig) Anishinaabeg and in the territory covered by the Williams Treaty and Treaty 20. Living in Nogojiwanong, the Anishinaabeg word for ‘place at the end of the rapids’, connects us to Curve Lake First Nation, Alderville First Nation, Hiawatha First Nation, and the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. As a white settler, I commit to a continued process of learning, centred in care and humility, and recognize my responsibility to work toward reconciliation.
