Melissa Kramer, she/her RCC
Hello!
I’m Melissa (she/her). I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor, wife, mother of two, friend, and colleague. My path, both personally and professionally, has shaped how I show up in this work — with warmth, compassion, and deep respect for your unique journey.
I know how important it is to feel seen and understood, especially when life feels heavy or uncertain.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life. Particularly those who are neurodiverse (ASD/ADHD) and have developmental disabilities. I also have a deep love in working with those who are navigating the profound transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. These life moments can be joyful and challenging in equal measure, and it’s my honour to hold space for whatever you’re carrying.
I believe that we all hold an inner knowing — a quiet wisdom that often gets buried under the demands of life, relationships, and expectations. My approach is to help you reconnect with that wisdom by creating a safe, supportive space where you can reflect on your experiences, process emotions, and uncover what feels most true for you. I work from a person centered, somatic, systemic, and trauma-informed approach.
Whether you're facing challenges in pregnancy, post-partum, or parenthood, anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, or questions about identity and faith, my role is to walk alongside you with empathy and care. Our time together is a collaborative process as we move toward finding your inner strength.
Areas of focus:
Perinatal, post-partum, and parenthood
Neurodiversity (ADHD and ASD) and developmental disabilities as well as support for families and loved ones.
Life transitions and Faith Deconstruction
Depression, suicide, and self-harm
Stress & Burnout
My approach to counselling is person-centred and trauma-informed, recognizing the impact that life experiences have on shaping who we are. I also approach counselling from a strength-based perspective, where I hope to highlight your capabilities and strengths - believing in every person’s ability to change and grow.
