Offering counselling services in Guelph, Ontario and the surrounding area.
Sometimes life can be overwhelming.
Breaking free may seem impossible. Staring at these feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, stress, anger, grief, or loss in the eye can be the scariest thing in the world.
We want to empower you to take control of your emotions and embrace the negative feelings, just like you do the positive ones.
Life is your journey. We're here to walk a small part of the way with you. Together we will help you make sense of the world and your place in it.
Counselling services provided include traditional talk therapy, art therapy, and sand tray therapy. We offer services to Guelph, Ontario's children, teens, and adults. If you're looking for support, we are here to help.
Art Therapy
Are you looking for a non-traditional type of therapy?
Do you enjoy art?
Art therapy is a form of counseling that combines psychotherapy and the creative process.
Melanie is committed to providing mental health support to all ages and artistic abilities.
Together, Melanie will work with you to inspire personal insight and awareness of your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours.
Sandtray Thereapy
Sandtray therapy allows clients to create their inner world using sand and miniatures. This type of therapy allows clients to express their intermost thoughts, feelings, and emotions with sand, mini figurines, and sometimes water.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting locates points in the client’s visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain.
Clinical Supervision and Consultation
Are you a social worker or a social work student?
Do you want to get better at your clinical skills?
Erica has been a registered social worker since 2007. She understands first-hand the pressures of working in a private practice and how isolating it can be.
Together we will explore your clinical competencies to build a self-reflective practice so that you can successfully meet the needs of your clients.
