About Alex Franzius

MSW, RSW · Therapist in Kelowna, BC & Online Across British Columbia

I'm a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Clinical Social Work from the University of British Columbia and a member in good standing of the BC College of Social Workers. My practice focuses on couples counselling and individual counselling for ADHD, autism (including AuDHD), anxiety & OCD, and trauma recovery. I work from a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach tailored to what you need.

My Background and Training

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Clinical Social Work from the University of British Columbia. My education also includes a Bachelor's degree with honours in Psychology and advanced training in the treatment of trauma, anxiety and OCD, neurodiversity, and perinatal/postpartum mental health challenges.

For the past seven years, I've had the privilege of working in the mental health field, supporting youth, adults, couples, parents, and folks navigating autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

A Little Bit About Me

Alex in a casual setting

When I'm not in the therapy room, you might find me devouring an epic fantasy or sci-fi book, sipping a coffee that I just remembered I made an hour ago, and trying desperately to remember to hydrate my body.

Why Choose My Practice?

My goal is to make therapy as accessible and supportive as possible:

Flexible Scheduling

Evening and weekend appointments are available to fit your schedule.

Convenient Formats

You can meet me in person in Kelowna or online from anywhere in British Columbia.

Parent-Friendly

As a parent myself, I understand the logistical and emotional challenges, and I try to make therapy workable for you.

Lived Experience

My professional expertise is complemented by my own lived experience navigating neurodiversity and mental health challenges.

Trauma-Informed Care

My training and experience mean a safe, understanding approach to healing from trauma.

Client-Centered

Your needs and goals are at the heart of our work together.
