Hello! My name is Alyson Kowalewsky (she/her) and I am a Registered Social Worker located in Victoria, BC on Songhees and Esquimalt lands. I specialize in counselling/therapy with youth 14+ and adults.

I have over 10+ years experience working in social work, mental health, and substance use settings, including inpatient mental health care with youth, and outpatient substance use counselling with adults.

My approach to counselling and therapy is eclectic, meaning that I draw from a variety of modalities and approaches, though I am most influenced by Narrative therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and an approach of justice-doing.

I strive to be collaborative, curious, practical, and relational in my approach.
