Areas I help with

What brings people in

Anxiety & Overthinking

Replaying conversations, avoiding decisions, a constant sense that something is wrong, recognizing that anxiety is exhausting. We'll understand what's driving it and build practical ways to respond differently.

Attachment & Relationship Patterns

Pulling away when things get close, needing constant reassurance, or repeating the same dynamic across different relationships while figuring out these patterns usually have roots in earlier experiences.

Learn more

People Pleasing & Boundaries

Saying yes when you mean no, feeling responsible for everyone's emotions, or struggling to ask for what you need. People pleasing is a pattern and I support you to improve it.

Learn more

ADHD

Working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up yet you could still feeling behind. Therapy for ADHD is about understanding how your brain works and building strategies that actually fit.

Open conversation. Real change.

Warm, practical therapy that fits your life.

Therapy doesn't have to feel stiff or clinical. My approach is collaborative and practical — we can make sense of what is happening, understand where patterns may have come from, and build skills that actually fit your life.

I'm Melissa Legge, MSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker providing individual and couples therapy in Calgary and virtually across Alberta.
