About Me


I'm Aleksandra Crvenic Pacek, a Certified Advanced Level Schema Psychotherapist and Supervisor/Trainer, RE&CBT Psychotherapist and CRPO Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying with a private practice since 2019.

I'm Glad You're Here :)

With over a decade of experience since starting as a psychotherapist under supervision in 2014, I bring warmth, kindness, and empathy into my work, helping clients develop the skills needed to lead more fulfilling lives. In addition to my therapeutic practice, I am an Individual Schema Therapy Supervisor since 2022 (and officially certified in 2023), dedicated to continuous learning and personal growth through supervision, training, and personal psychotherapy. I am committed to fostering supportive, compassionate relationships with both my clients and supervisees.
