Hi! I’m Melissa, a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta, located in Calgary.

I am currently accepting new clients 16 and over for individual counselling sessions and mental health assessments.

A few things that people come to see me for:

  • General life issues and life transitions

  • General mental health concerns

  • Trauma

  • Spiritual and religious issues including religious trauma, adverse religious experience, faith Deconstruction, spiritual difficulties and navigating through post-Purity Culture

  • Family of origin/early childhood issues

  • Career exploration and transitions

  • Farming and rural mental heath issues

  • Stress management

  • Anxiety (including generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety)

  • Depression

  • Insomnia

  • Situationships and relationship recovery

  • Social anxiety/disorder and shyness

  • Self-exploration and getting to know themselves a bit more

    Some people also connect with a therapist for regular check ups, like how they would see a doctor.

    If you don’t find yourself fitting into any of these areas on this list, don’t let that discourage you from booking an appointment or reaching out! I am happy to connect and do a free 15 minute consultation with you so you are able to see if I am a fit for you.

    I am able to provide therapy services to those residing in Alberta, Yukon, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. If you are reside outside one of these provinces/territories, I may be able to provide referrals for practitioners licensed in your area.
