When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.

Welcome to Alex Prado Psychotherapy
I am a Psychotherapist, Clinical Educator, Supervisor, and Clinical Social Worker. I have trained in Somatic Experiencing (SEP), Mindfulness Informed Psychotherapy, Art Therapy, EMDR, and have studied various mindfulness practices over the past 35 years. I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, families and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, grief and loss, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.
I am passionate about working with people who have experienced trauma and other deeply distressing experiences. I have a special interest in combining somatic approaches and mindfulness. I believe in creating a supportive and safe environment that provides the necessary conditions for the body to do what it does best – which is to heal emotional and psychological trauma, integrate and transmute upsetting emotions, memories, anxiety, as well as other barriers to feeling present and experiencing joy in life.
