Growth & healing through authenticity & connection
Alexandra Sera (C.C.C.)
Providing in-person and virtual counselling sessions for clients in Alberta
Who I am
Hello, and welcome to A.S. Counselling! I’m Alexandra, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (#11252574) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. My office is located in Airdrie, AB for clients who are looking for in-person sessions. I also offer virtual sessions to individuals and couples across Alberta.
As a teacher turned counsellor, I have always been someone who is passionate about supporting others through life’s challenges and developing strong connections to promote growth and healing. My practice is focused on being in the moment with you and walking alongside you, as you dig deep to explore, heal, and grow. I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients by showing up authentically and fostering mutual respect and trust.
My counselling approach is Person-Centered with aspects of Cognitve Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) woven in. I may be a good fit for you if you’re looking for a counsellor who is down-to-earth, genuine, emotionally present, and doesn’t take themself too seriously. For me, connection, authenticity, and feeling relaxed during sessions helps to best support clients.
Who I Help
Through in-person or virtual sessions, I offer a supportive space to help you better understand yourself, navigate challenges, and create change that is meaningful to you.
I work with:
Children & Teens — supporting emotional, social, and behavioural challenges, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Individuals — helping you navigate life’s challenges, to feel more confident and to build self-understanding (and often self-acceptance).
Couples — working through communication challenges, conflict, disconnection, and relationship difficulties.
I focus on the following areas:
ADHD — developing practical strategies for organization, emotional regulation, overwhelm, relationships, and self-acceptance.
Anxiety & Depression — determining tools that will help you manage worry, low mood, overwhelm, and difficult emotions.
Relationship Challenges (individually or as a couple) — exploring communication patterns, conflict, attachment, trust, and connection.
Boundary Setting — learning to communicate your needs, say no without guilt, and build healthier relationships.
Life Transitions & Personal Growth — finding your footing during periods of change, uncertainty, or feeling stuck.
If you’re struggling with something specific, or just hope to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you in that journey. Therapy with me can provide a space to pause, reflect, and gain clarity to move forward with a greater sense of confidence.
Counselling Services
Couples Counselling
Fee: $175 per 80 minute session
Relationships are challenging. Whether you're navigating conflict, feeling distant, or just wanting to strengthen your connection, couples counselling is a space to slow down, re-connect, and do the work together. I aim to offer a space for both of you to feel respected and supported as we work together.
In couples sessions, we’ll focus on building understanding, trust, and communication. I often highlight the use of The Gottman Method, a research-based approach, which helps to improve connection and mutual understanding.
Individual Counselling
Fee: $125 per 50 minute session
Life can be a lot sometimes. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or just unsure of where to go next, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
In our one-on-one sessions, we’ll take the time to explore whatever’s showing up for you. My aim is to create a space for you to be real, feel your feelings, and to support you in making sense of it all.
Connection Call
Complimentary 15-minute consultation
Starting therapy is a big step and it’s important that your counsellor feel like the right fit for you! This is why I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call or virtual chat. It gives us a chance to connect, with no pressure and no commitment. You can ask questions, share a bit about what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a feel for who I am.
I’ll share a bit about my approach, what working together might look like, and we’ll go from there. If it feels like a good match, we can determine next steps and get you booked in for an official intake session, and if not, that’s okay too!

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Take a look at our FAQs or reach out anytime. If you’re feeling ready, go ahead and book in for your complimentary connection call.
-
Your first session is a time for us to get to know one another. We will discuss your history, what has brought you to counselling at this time, and discuss your goals for the therapy. This is also a time to ask any questions you may have about the therapeutic process or the work that we will do together.
-
It is often helpful to begin by attending sessions on a weekly basis to establish the therapeutic relationship and build momentum. However, frequency should be decided by YOU and your personal needs - many clients attend bi-weekly or monthly sessions.
-
I don’t currently offer direct billing, but I can issue formal receipts that you can submit on your own. Most insurance companies now accept Canadian Certified Counsellors. I highly recommend that you check into your specific coverage if you are unsure.
-
I accept credit card, which is set up through the JaneApp.
-
I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. For any missed sessions or late cancellations (within the 24-hour period), the full session fee will be charged to your credit card.
