Alli Pfaff (she/her) is a Registered Psychotherapist and an Accredited Music Therapist with the Canadian Association of Music Therapists. She holds a Master of Music Therapy from Wilfrid Laurier University and a Bachelor of Education from Queen's University. Before becoming a psychotherapist, Alli spent over a decade as a music educator, working with children and youth in a variety of educational and community settings.

Alli works with children, adolescents, and adults in private practice, institutional, and not-for-profit settings. She has a particular passion for supporting children and youth while also enjoying work with adults navigating life's challenges. Her areas of interest include supporting neurodivergent individuals, including children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and complex support needs, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, emotional regulation challenges, and the impacts of trauma. Her work is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-informed practice, and she is committed to providing affirming, identity-informed care for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and communities.

Alli offers a warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered. Using a strengths-based and person-centred approach, she tailors therapy to each individual's goals and preferences. Therapy may include evidence-informed talk therapy, music therapy, creative arts-based interventions, or a combination of approaches. While many children and neurodivergent clients benefit from creative therapies as a way to support communication, emotional regulation, and self-expression, adults often find these approaches equally valuable for gaining insight, processing difficult experiences, and fostering meaningful change. No musical or artistic experience is required.

Alli believes that meaningful change happens through safety, connection, and collaboration. She strives to help clients build on their strengths, gain new perspectives, and move toward the lives they want to live. Outside of her practice, Alli enjoys raising her child, spending time with loved ones, and dancing her heart out in community.
