##Meet Mel
Virtual Counselling Across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick & Newfoundland and Labrador
Mel is a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) providing virtual counselling to adolescents (12+), adults, and young adults across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. She supports individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, emotional distress, and concurrent mental health and substance use concerns.
With years of experience in mental health, addictions, crisis intervention, inpatient care, and child and adolescent services, Mel has worked alongside individuals facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Her background allows her to support clients with both everyday stressors and more complex mental health concerns with compassion, confidence, and evidence-based care.
Mel believes therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. She creates a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore difficult experiences, gain insight into patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual, drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), trauma-informed practice, recovery-oriented care, and harm reduction principles. Together, you will work toward goals that are meaningful to you while building skills that support long-term emotional well-being.
Mel has a special interest in supporting clients with:
* Anxiety and excessive worry
* Depression and low mood
* Addiction and recovery
* Alcohol and substance use concerns
* Concurrent mental health and substance use
* Trauma and post-traumatic stress
* Emotional regulation
* Stress and burnout
* Life transitions
* Teen mental health (12+)
* Young adult mental health
Whether you're navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, working toward recovery, or simply looking for a safe place to talk, Mel is committed to helping you feel supported, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
Mel offers secure online counselling for clients throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador through Everest Therapeutics.
