Hi! I’m Melissa
I love to listen to old rock and jazz records, spot birds and other creatures while I am out walking, and enjoy a good meal with friends and family.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
— Alan Watts
Welcome,
I am a graduate student in the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University practicing under the supervision of Registered Psychotherapist Cathy Dubrofsky. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Toronto Metropolitan University and weave my academic training and a deep respect for the human experience into my work.
As a compassion-focused therapist, I offer a safe, supportive space to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been overlooked, silenced, or pushed aside. I believe that no one is fundamentally flawed or broken; sometimes the ways we understand and describe our experiences can keep us feeling stuck. My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate these challenges and rediscover your capacity for growth and resilience.
My approach is collaborative, empathic, and practical. I draw on evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotion regulation challenges, relationship and family dynamics challenges, and life transitions. Together, we explore your story, uncover what you need to live more authentically, and integrate strategies that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Most importantly, I aim to meet you on a human-to-human level by creating an environment where you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
If you are ready to begin your journey, I invite you to reach out and book a free consultation.
