More About Melissa (RSW, MSW)
Welcome to Open Book Therapies. I'm Melissa, a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) specializing in trauma recovery and grief counseling in Diamond Valley, AB. With a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, I guide individuals through life's most challenging transitions, helping them find healing and renewed purpose.
As your therapist, I create a safe, nurturing space where your story matters and healing becomes possible. Whether you're navigating grief, processing trauma, or seeking support through life transitions, I combine evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy to help you write your next chapter.
I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions, making professional mental health support accessible when and where you need it most.
My practice is founded on the belief that everyone deserves a trusted guide through life's challenges, and I'm here to walk that path with you.
Together, we'll work to transform pain into growth, empowering you to move forward with renewed strength and clarity.
Your journey to healing starts here.
