Hello and welcome! 🌿

I’m Alexandre (Alex) Madore, MSW, RSW — the psychotherapist and registered social worker behind Friluft Psychotherapy.

Friluft Psychotherapy was founded on my belief that healing happens through connection: with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. I provide compassionate, evidence-based support that’s tailored to each person’s unique journey.

My training includes:
✔️ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
✔️ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
✔️ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I specialize in supporting clients with:
🌈 LGBTQ2+ issues
❤️ S*x therapy
💬 Anxiety and depression
💥 Trauma and PTSD

Whether you’re seeking a space to process, heal, or grow, I’m here to walk alongside you.

💬 I invite you to connect, ask questions, or learn more about how I can support you. Let’s explore what healing could look like — together.

🌈 Efficacy of EMDR in Le***an, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Q***r and Two-spirit (LGBTQ2+) communities 🌿

LGBTQ2+ individuals often face unique challenges — from trauma and discrimination to internalized stigma and identity-based stress.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that can help:
✨ Process and heal from past trauma
✨ Reduce anxiety, shame, and distress linked to difficult experiences
✨ Strengthen self-acceptance and emotional resilience
✨ Support greater peace, confidence, and well-being

💫 Amid the challenges of today’s world, you deserve a space where you can heal safely and authentically.

🌊 Discover EMDR Therapy at Friluft Psychotherapy 🌈

The World Health Organization (WHO) and American Psychological Association (APA) both endorse EMDR as an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD.

Research consistently shows that EMDR:

➡️ Significantly reduces distress related to traumatic memories, anxiety, and other emotional challenges.

➡️ Helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they lose their emotional charge.

➡️ Supports resilience, confidence, and well-being.

💬 Curious if EMDR is right for you?

🌿 Exciting News from Friluft Psychotherapy 🌿
I’m pleased to share that I am now offering Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as part of my clinical practice.

What is EMDR?
EMDR is an evidence-based, structured therapy that helps people process and heal from traumatic memories and distressing experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation (often eye movements) to help the brain reprocess difficult memories, reducing their emotional impact and allowing for more adaptive responses.

Whether you’re coping with trauma, anxiety, or other emotional challenges, EMDR offers a powerful and transformative path toward healing.

If you’d like to learn more or see if EMDR is right for you, feel free to reach out.
