Melinda is a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. Melinda believes in a holistic approach to therapy and healing. She uses an integrative approach that draws on various therapeutic approaches such as solution focused, CBT, and mindfulness-based interventions, along with these approaches Melinda uses a trauma-informed lens.

Melinda believes in tapping in the individual’s strengths and internal resources to facilitate healing and transformation.
