Introduction
Hi, I’m Alexandra Unitas, and I’m proud to be part of the team at Mindset First. With a background in English Literature, I’ve always been drawn to the power of stories—how we tell them, how we interpret them, and how they shape our understanding of ourselves and others. This perspective naturally led me to the field of therapy, where helping clients explore and reframe their personal narratives is a core part of the healing process. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and have two years of experience supporting individuals through personal growth and emotional wellness. At Mindset First, my role focuses on creating a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Get to know Alexandra Unitas
Alexandra combines evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to offer a practical and compassionate approach. She believes that expressing emotions is a strength, and she creates a safe, supportive space where clients can explore vulnerability, challenge unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with their values.
Her work is driven by the belief that understanding emotions and developing new skills go hand in hand. Through therapy, clients gain tools to manage anxiety, build self-confidence, and improve their relationships—all while deepening their awareness of what matters most to them.
Clients working with Alexandra can expect a respectful and collaborative environment tailored to their individual goals and pace. Whether facing anxiety, relationship struggles, or identity questions, they will find a caring guide who supports meaningful growth and lasting change.
Client Focus
Alexandra works with people in their early to mid-20s who want to better understand themselves and their emotions. She knows how confusing and challenging this time can be—figuring out who you are and what you want isn’t always easy. Alexandra offers a friendly, open space where you can talk freely without judgment. Together, you’ll explore your feelings, build practical tools to handle life’s ups and downs, and find ways to feel more confident and connected. Her goal is to help you grow stronger and more in tune with yourself so you can move forward with hope and clarity.
