Melissa Beer
(she/her)
MSW Counselling Intern
Welcome! I’m Melissa, a therapist who is passionate about helping individuals find healing and balance on their unique journeys. With a deep commitment to meeting clients where they’re at, I offer a gentle, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach to therapy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you and your body can feel comfortable enough to begin the healing process.
I specialize in working with individuals facing addiction, mental health challenges, and those looking to understand and navigate the complexities of their inner world. My experience in social services has given me strong case management and counselling skills, allowing me to offer holistic support in your therapeutic journey.
In my practice, I bring not only my professional knowledge but also my personality and life experiences into each session. I believe that our shared humanity and my genuine connection with clients are integral to creating a healing and collaborative environment.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Approaches, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). These modalities allow me to tailor my approach to fit your needs, helping you feel empowered and supported every step of the way.
Whether you are dealing with addiction, mental health struggles, or simply looking for a safe space to explore your emotions and experiences, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

“There’s magic in being seen by people who understand – it gives you permission to keep going. Self-expression sometimes requires other people. Becoming ourselves is a collective journey.”
