My Approach - Alli Pfaff

I use an eclectic approach based in humanistic, existential, and psychodynamic principals with attention to body-mind experiences. I strive for a warm and welcoming space framed within a non-judgemental and intersectional lens that honours each person’s unique circumstances, strengths and resources.

My psychotherapy approach combines traditional verbal methods with creative arts experiences as a means to awaken new discoveries, insights and transformation while also working toward a holistic sense of well-being. Creative arts experiences might include therapeutic music listening, lyric analysis, playing instruments, singing, songwriting, drawing to music, collaging, journaling, poetry creation, sculpting, moving to music, or free association writing.

All abilities and levels of experience in music and the arts are welcome. Creative arts therapies do not emphasize skill, but instead emphasize sensitivity. Attention is given to what is happening for you in response to music & art experiences.

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.
