Hi, I’m Alex M. Sadlowski.

I am a Registered Social Worker with the BC College of Social Workers and a member of the BC Association of Social Workers. I completed my Master of Social Work with a clinical specialization in 2023 at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus.

Since 2019 I have worked with unhoused individuals, substance use and abuse, and acute crisis intervention. In my current work at a non-profit addictions treatment centre, I have delivered group therapy and 1-on-1 counselling to individuals struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and more.

My Approach

I believe that every human being has the capacity for positive change, but sometimes we need a safe, supportive environment to get started. My goal is to work alongside you as your teammate, to build a trusting connection, and to help you move towards the life you want.

I take a Person-Centred approach with all my clients — that means you get to decide the direction of therapy. I mainly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and hold a certificate in Trauma-Focused ACT. I also pull from other modalities (such as CBT and Motivational Interviewing) when appropriate. If you’re curious to know more about the various counselling approaches I use, please don’t hesitate to ask.
