Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Alex Boersen: Redline Recovery Counselling and EMDR
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I’m a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and the founder of Redline Recovery Counselling and EMDR. I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, addiction, men’s mental health, rural mental health, youth, and the unique challenges faced by first responders, healthcare practitioners, and frontline social service workers. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies including ACT, CBT, Attachment-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I’m also trained in CBT for Trauma and EMDR.
I’ve worked in hospital, as a social worker with the OPP, and in community mental health. These experiences have deepened my understanding of high-stress environments. My time working with trauma has brought me to explore different avenues of healing, from EMDR to the emerging field of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy.
Originally from rural Perth County, I was drawn to this work through my own experience with mental health. I aim to create a safe, honest space where clients feel empowered to grow and reconnect with what matters most. Outside of work, I enjoy life with my wife, daughter, two dogs and stay active through running, weight lifting, fishing, and time outdoors.

Sonya Sethi-Rankin: Healing Matters Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RSSW
Life can be beautiful, but it can also be incredibly hard.
When pain, loss, or confusion take hold, it’s easy to get caught in cycles that feel impossible to break. Sometimes, no matter how capable you are, the weight of it all can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who you are anymore.
In therapy, we slow things down. Together, we untangle the patterns that keep you repeating the same pain experiences — in your thoughts, in your relationships, or within yourself. Whether you’re facing trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, or emotional exhaustion, you don’t have to do it alone.
My work supports individuals and couples through the moments that feel unbearable — helping you rediscover stability, clarity, and connection. Healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about transforming how you carry it, so you can move forward with strength, authenticity, and self-compassion.
