About Alternative Roots Therapy
Meet Brooke Stubbert, Registered Psychotherapist Located in Ancaster, ON
Hi, I’m Brooke Stubbert, the founder of Alternative Roots Therapy. I offer virtual psychotherapy across Ontario, and in-person psychotherapy located in Ancaster, Ontario.
My own personal experiences, combined with my education and training, have deeply shaped my commitment to mental health and holistic healing. Having faced my own challenges with anxiety, depression, and most recently, breast cancer, I can understand the complexities of resilience, healing, and transformation. These experiences have influenced how I approach therapy—compassionate, practical, and always tailored to meet you where you are.
Therapeutic Philosophy
Choosing a therapist is personal. Beyond credentials and training, it often comes down to whether you feel heard and supported. For me, therapy begins with the relationship we build, which is why I care deeply about creating a space where you can feel understood—not judged, rushed, or talked over, but genuinely met as a whole person with a story worth listening to.
So much of our inner world lives beneath the surface: patterns we’ve carried, roles we learned early, feelings we may have held quietly for years. In our time together, we can explore these pieces thoughtfully, guided by what feels meaningful to you.
My approach is grounded and collaborative. I bring my training and lived experience into the room, alongside warmth and authenticity. Therapy with me isn’t about being “the expert” — it’s about walking with you, offering alternative routes, and helping you connect the dots in a way that feels empowering and sustainable.
If this approach resonates with you, you are welcome to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute phone call consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to work together.
