I’ve been practicing as a therapist for over 10 years. I love longboarding, creating, hiking, traveling, good eats, cold plunging, and connecting with my kids and the elements. I’m stoked about creating a space of openness and compassion, working directly to help individuals move past feelings of being stuck, anxious, chronically stressed, or disconnected from life. I focus on creating nervous system balance and teaching tools that allow my clients to take the lead in their wellness journey.

As a transpersonal psychotherapist, I guide clients toward deeper self-connection using integrative, evidence-based practices. Rooted in holistic healing, I incorporate forest therapy, neuro-somatic breathwork, and movement influenced by Eastern and Western medicine, alongside my energy medicine certifications. My approach combines sound therapy and breathwork with trauma-informed, somatic, and polyvagal principles to enhance emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. I specialize in fostering body awareness, intuitive insight, and nervous system regulation through daily practices for lasting transformation.

In our sessions, I offer a space to explore practices grounded in neuroscience and mind-body research, empowering you to experience a fuller, more embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you. These practices address deeply rooted stories and limiting beliefs within the body, transforming them into radical honesty, accountability, and ownership for authentic self-expression.

I integrate elemental therapy, using breathwork, shadow journaling, meditation, and movement to hold a safe space for self-expression and authenticity. My methods include exploring patterns that foster limiting beliefs in yourself, building connections with intentions to encourage self-guided boundaries, and connecting with your body and intuition. If you’re seeking to live more authentically, this is the space for you. Using transpersonal psychology practices like Reiki, polyvagal regulation, narrative therapy, chakra balance, sound therapy, and cold therapy, I help sustain embodied alignment. Choose progress over expectations and be more present with daily intention practices. I offer services for individuals, other healing professionals, couples, and group breathwork.

I believe that healing happens in relationship with ourselves, others, and the communities we’re part of. My work is grounded in values of relationships, connection, justice, and equity. I see many of our struggles not as personal failings, but as natural responses to systems and experiences that have shaped us.

My experience includes working with youth and adults of diverse identifies and backgrounds who have experienced gender-based violence, homelessness, criminalization, as well as in schools, residential care facilities, and shelters. These experiences not only shape my practice, but how I aspire to show up in the world.

My goal is to bring warmth, curiosity, and humanness to each session. I value authenticity, and my first priority is building a sense of safety and trust together. I view the people I work with as the experts in their experience, and my role is to provide the relational environment and safety to explore and strengthen their relationships with themselves.

I am trained in Narrative Therapy and the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM), which is a gentle, neuroscience-informed approach to trauma healing that draws on somatic, creative expression, and parts work. I also hold specialized training in counselling people who have experienced sexualized violence. Using my experiences, combined with these approaches, I strive to help people make meaning of their experiences, strengthen inner resources, and gently process trauma and attachment wounds.

My style is collaborative, relational, and compassionate. I currently offer in person, virtual and phone sessions for youth and adults seeking support with trauma recovery, anxiety, relationship patterns, depression, self-esteem, identity, and meaning-making.

Getting through this thing called life can be difficult for anyone. At times, it feels like there’s nowhere for us to slow down and sort through the noise of the day. A moment to breathe, and just maybe, let our shoulders drop, as we find our way back into our body. Maybe you’re in need of that kind of space.

I am a white, cisgender, queer man, and clinical social worker. I work from a relational and anti-oppressive perspective that is influenced by my own life experiences and my years of working with clients. I provide trauma-informed and affirming care to support individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, life-changes and transitions, self-esteem, and gender and sexuality exploration. My work is collaborative and building a relationship out of respect, authenticity, and care with you is the foundation of our work together. I believe that with someone in your corner, you can drop shame and build the confidence to live a full and genuine life.

I have a Masters in Social Work with a specialization in gender and sexuality from Temple University. I consider myself affirming, kink positive/knowledgeable, and poly inclusive in my work.

I believe that no one should feel as though they need to navigate their hard days all alone. Reaching out is the first step in feeling your best self despite seeming like an impossible task at times. As your therapist, I will do everything possible to make sure that we work together to give you a safe space to be seen and heard. I prioritize holistic wellbeing and believe you are the expert of your own story.

I have years of experience providing therapy to individuals struggling with intense emotions. I like to use a variety of therapeutic modalities including but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other strength based approaches.

It would be an honour to be the person that can sit with you through challenging times and support you to find the strength from within.

I have been a therapist for over 30 years and a social worker primarily in mental health and addictions services. I have worked with children, adolescence and adults as a clinical therapist across the lifespan. My areas of expertise are in trauma and abuse, and I have a special interest in personality disorders, parental estrangement, couples counselling, grief and loss, addictions and cancer care.

It is my hope that we would work together to support positive changes. I am trained in various treatment modalities and I have seen many people overcome the most challenging circumstances. It’s not easy, however, it is possible!

Great therapy can be self-affirming, life-saving, and transformative. My highest motivation as a therapist is to help people reconnect with their internal sense of self-knowledge and live in a more authentic way. I work within individuals in a DBT and somatic IFS model, which provides practical skills, psychoeducation and a guiding philosophy as well as a more speculative internal curiosity towards your belief systems and inner thought processes. I work with individuals to process systemic and interpersonal traumas. Therapy frequently becomes an opportunity to reflect not only on past experiences of pain, but also an opportunity to reflect on what our values, goals, and desires are. Within a conversation about our limitations, boundaries, wants, needs, and preferences, we’re able to better understand what is standing in the way between ourselves and our most fulfilling life. In that tension, we have the opportunity for choice and in those choices we have the opportunity to better understand ourselves, our motivations, and to create greater meaning and connection.

Within my work with couples I utilize the Gottman Method. I work with couples who have experienced attachment injuries within their relationships or have a history of insecure attachment styles. I work with couples who are navigating new responsibilities, challenges, or curiosities in their relationships. I have experience working with couples exploring kink and ethical non-monogamy. My work as a couple’s therapist is primarily to support the existing friendship between partners and to help partners reflect on concrete skills (e.g., conflict management strategies) but more importantly, helping partners appreciate more deeply the vulnerabilities and history their partner brings into a relationship and understanding what that means for receiving and offering love in their particular relationship.

I am a Registered Social Worker and a Silberman School of Social Work graduate with a Master’s degree in Social Work. Over the past seven years, I have worked with adults in community-based programs, private practices, and non-profits in a therapeutic role. I have also worked with 2SLGBTQ and poly couples, unhoused and 2SLGBTQ youth, grieving community members, young people involved in the criminal justice system, and dual diagnoses. Some of my most rewarding work has been with identity integration for neurodiverse populations, 2SLGBTQ individuals, and men.

My name is Melaney and I am passionate about treating trauma related concerns. I’m a trauma survivor myself and over the last five years working as a therapist in the public system I’ve developed extensive experience working with several trauma therapy models such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), and I have been recently trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I worked for three years in the community of Antigonish with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health presentations including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and currently I work with children and families impacted by trauma and attachment injuries in Halifax. I am excited to begin offering my services to folks in the private sector as well!

I completed my MSW at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus) with a focus on treating mental health and addictions from a trauma-informed, harm reduction approach. My practicum was in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood where I gained much experience and insight into working with trauma and addictions. In Vancouver I also became interested in the therapeutic potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy and I’m currently wrapping up psilocybin therapy training through TheraPsil. I look forward to psychedelic-assisted therapy becoming legal and accessible over the next few years and I’m passionate about psychedelic harm reduction.

Other therapy models I draw from include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC). I also use the Collaborative Problem Solving model (CPS) in working with families and children with behavioural issues. Another area of interest of mine is supporting clients through loss, grief and the mourning process. I am committed to social justice and incorporate compassion into my work with clients.
