Melissa Melnychuk

Many people have already talked their stories through. The goal here isn’t to endlessly process - it’s to heal. We go beneath coping and analysis, carefully deconstruct what’s holding you in place and rebuild from the foundation up. I am a Registered Psychotherapist supporting adults, couples, and adolescents through trauma, neurodivergence, self-esteem issues, life transitions, abuse, and attachment-based challenges. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. Many of my clients have experienced therapy before but are ready for a deeper layer of healing. I provide a comforting space to heal while growing.

I offer integrative, evidence-based therapy including EMDR, neurodivergent-affirming care, IFS, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches. I specialize in supporting those experiencing narcissistic abuse and individuals navigating relationships with loved ones who have personality disorders, providing nuanced, individualized care.

If you are ready for a non-judgmental and compassionate healing journey toward self-discovery, self-compassion, clarity, and relief, I invite you to reach out for a free virtual consultation. Daytime and evening hours are available to support your schedule and make therapy more accessible.
