Alejandra Proaño is an anger management specialist and is the co-owner of Moose Anger Management. She directs Healing Anger, the program for women that now runs online and worldwide, every eight weeks. She and her team of counsellors specialize in individual, couple and group counselling work on anger and addictions. Alejandra helps people integrate their anger to turn it into a positive driving force in life. The long-term vision of the Healing Anger program is to destigmatize women’s anger —a collective shadow in our society. Alejandra holds a Specialization in Family Therapy, a Master in Clinical Psychology, a Master in Science and a Master in Literature. She brings a compassionate and trauma-informed lens to her work. She is a lifetime student, a Compassionate Inquiry practitioner, and a second-year Somatic Experiencincing student (frameworks based on the work of Gabor Maté and Peter Levine). She has lived and worked in 4 different countries where she had plenty of eye-opening experiences. In Ecuador, in her early 20's, she worked at the women’s prison and in private and public hospitals and psychiatric clinics. In Colombia, she worked with families recovering from the drug wars. She was also a research consultant on socio-political violence and the crimes against humanity for a non-profit organization (NGO) with consultative status to the United Nations (UN). In Mexico, she worked as a consultant and a coach for an NGO of psychologists and lawyers whose mission was to eradicate violence against women. Her two-year research project on the representation of women in romantic love letters at the National Library in Mexico won a graduate Honours Thesis Award. Alejandra’s essays and poetry have been published in international journals and academic publications in many countries. She is now rewriting “Healing Anger: Transform Anger into Growth,” which compiles the words of the many hundreds of women she has worked with over the last eight years in Vancouver, Canada, where she lives with her partner Alistair, known as the Angerman.
