Alpha Ponce - Wise Beginning - Mental Health - Counselling & Psychotherapy, Relationship Therapy, Well-Being

"I've been through a few practitioners over the last 2 years but no one has made me feel more seen, heard and understood than Alpha. I'm glad that I found such an empathetic therapist who really listens to me. She is intentional with her questions and holds space for me to deep dive into my past and present self. I originally came to her to help me cope with past trauma and she didn't just give me worksheets and pushed me to "move forward" from it. Instead, she engaged me in discussions and exercises to help me find the root of why things happened the way it did. I really appreciated this as it was what I was looking for in a therapist. I feel safe to be vulnerable with Alpha and I always feel lighter and more happy when I leave the session. I would highly recommend Alpha if you are looking for someone to cope with whatever challenges you are going through."

"My sessions with Alpha have been groundbreaking for my personal growth, confidence and happiness. Alpha is an extremely empathetic and skilled therapist who creates a safe space and genuinely cares about you as a person. I could not recommend Alpha more!"

"I have been seeing Alpha for therapy for six months. During this time, Alpha is very flexible with appointment times, which I appreciate. Alpha offers a warm and comfortable space for her clients to share their vulnerabilities. Alpha is actively engaged in the therapy process, using discussions and exercises, as this is the nature of Gestalt therapy. I find the combination of Alpha's calm nature and the therapy style most cohesive to my needs; I feel safe and supported. Alpha is patient and understanding with clients, I do not feel pressured to 'move forward' or 'get over things', but instead to seek and identify the underlying causes that have caused me distress and harm, how that is impacting my today and how awareness of this can help me heal and grow. I strongly recommend Alpha for those who are seeking a gentle and engaging therapeutic process. For someone like myself who is healing from an unhealthy childhood, the nurturing environment and therapy style Alpha provides has been critical to the success of my healing journey."

"The support I've received through Wise Beginnings has been invaluable. I've learned strategies that have helped with self advocacy and ways to recognize patterns of behavior in myself and others that impact my wellbeing. Alpha has been kind, patient and supportive through transition periods in my life which has enabled me to adjust to new situations positively and effectively. I would strongly recommend anyone struggling with self-advocacy, transitions, or any other difficulty to access this support."

"Alpha is absolutely amazing. I've never had a therapist who is as intuitive, flexible, and empathetic as her! She really works with you to try to get to the root cause of things but is always sure to not push you too far. She also doesn't just rely on worksheets and nice little sayings during her sessions. She actually listens and takes the time to formulate a compassionate and thought provoking response. You can tell she really loves the work she does. I really can't recommend her enough!"
