Many of us come to periods in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, confused or immobilized by our circumstances and our feelings. Or we reach a point in life when we know in our gut that something has to change, but we just don’t know where to begin. Doubt and negative self-talk can make us feel stuck. Sometimes we struggle with feelings of sadness, anger, shame or anxiety and can feel very alone in that struggle. Having a safe place to talk and a safe, non-judgmental person to talk to is key to healing and moving beyond the “stuck place”.

My ideal client is someone carrying more than they let on — navigating trauma, overwhelm, or major life shifts while longing for clarity, relief, and connection. They want to feel grounded again, understand their patterns, heal old wounds, and build healthier relationships. Most of all, they want a space where they’re met with warmth, honesty, and a bit of humour as they move toward a life that finally feels like their own.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom” -Anais Nin. I can appreciate how difficult it is to make the first steps in entering into a therapeutic relationship. Telling our stories takes tremendous courage and strength. We can trick ourselves into believing that it would be easier to remain silent. We all hit a point in our lives where we need extra guidance, a genuine ear, or a safe place to open up. I create a safe and open space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and stories. I combine several therapeutic techniques, to allow you the freedom to share your journey.

Hi, I’m Melissa. I know how exhausting it can feel when your mind won’t slow down and life starts to feel overwhelming. My goal is to offer a warm, thoughtful space where you can speak openly and feel understood. Together, we look beyond surface coping strategies to understand the patterns beneath anxiety, burnout, overthinking, and relationship struggles. In our work, we explore how past experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous system responses shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. I take a collaborative approach, helping you gain clarity around what’s keeping you stuck so you can move toward lasting change.

Most of us want the same things in life- purposeful living, harmonious relationships, peace. We want a sense of love and belonging. We want to be happy. Choices, transitions and challenges in life can be hard to navigate on our own but there are peaceful resolutions and ways to overcome our internal blocks and core beliefs, our over- thinking and self esteem. We are all capable of self- healing especially when we activate our powerful subconscious using theta healing and hypnosis.

I specialize in treating chronic pain and trauma, integrating EMDR and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to help adults and youth move beyond fear, pain, and nervous system overwhelm.
Hi, I’m Clarissa — a Registered Social Worker, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Practitioner, EMDR Therapist, and founder of Chickadee Therapy.
I help people (ages 14+) living with trauma and chronic pain find real, lasting relief by working with the nervous system, not against it. My work is grounded in neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and nervous system healing.
Before I ever did this work professionally, I lived it. I experienced chronic migraine for many years, and through Pain Reprocessing Therapy, nervous system healing, and a great deal of unlearning, I was able to recover and reclaim my life.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
