About
Hello, my name is Melody Cesar and I am a Registered Social Worker practicing in Treaty Six territory (Edmonton). I have called this place my home my whole life but my roots are from Rwanda, Tanzania and Germany. I speak English, French, Swahili, and German. I specialize in helping people who are experiencing overwhelming stress and anxiety due to life’s many challenges. I am also interested in working with adolescents and young adults in building self-esteem and coping strategies to manage challenges.
I use a person-centered strength based approach to counselling and draw upon different modalities including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy.
