Christina Di Cesare, MA., RCC – Clinical Director of Neurofeedback

Hi I’m Christina! I am the newly appointed Clinical Director of Neurofeedback at Alpine Counselling Clinic, as well as a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Having spent three years at Alpine as a Neurofeedback Technician, I am excited to step into this leadership role while continuing to support clients through my counselling practice. My professional background includes counselling, psychological sciences, and health and wellness, with a particular interest in the interconnectedness of the mind and body.
Throughout my journey, I have gained experience working with children, youth, and young adults in educational and social settings, as well as exploring developmental research as an assistant in a cognitive development laboratory. My own experiences with therapy, alongside a passion for wellness, healing, and meaningful human connection have shaped my desire to support others in their journeys toward greater self-understanding and psychological well-being.
My experience in Neurofeedback has further strengthened my appreciation for the ways in which stress can manifest physiologically, and the important role of nervous system regulation in mental health. With a background in dance, yoga, and athletics, I am also passionate about the relationship between movement, the mind-body connection, and the healing process.

Therapeutic ApproachI recognize that newly entering the therapeutic environment can be a daunting experience. Throughout our time together, I will be with you every step of the way – prioritizing your emotional safety and providing your optimal space for growth and healing. No two therapy sessions are the same and as such, the treatment process and our time together will be tailored to your individualized needs and goal trajectories. Woven into my therapeutic approach is a trauma informed, strengths-based and culturally aware framework in which your unique story and experiences drive our sessions.
I practice from an integrative theoretical lens, with an emphasis on humanistic and person-centred approaches. I often incorporate elements of the following into my work while also pulling from other modalities if seen fit…
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Attachment Theory
- Mindfulness
I believe in understanding mental health through a holistic lens, recognizing the interplay between our thoughts, emotions, physical experiences, and the nervous system. Whether through counselling or direct neurofeedback, I value meeting individuals where they are and adapting the therapeutic process to best support their needs.
Together, we will work toward meaningful goals while fostering greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, overall and personal growth.
