Meet Your Trauma-Informed Therapist in Alberta
Holistic Trauma Therapy & Mental Health Services in Alberta | Break Free & Heal
Open Book Therapies is the private practice of Melissa Legge,
RSW, MSW — a trauma-informed therapist offering holistic,
virtual mental health care across Alberta.
Melissa blends clinical expertise with mind-body techniques
to help clients heal from trauma, break free from people pleasing
patterns, and build emotional resilience.
Her approach is warm, human, and deeply supportive —

but reconnecting with who you truly are.

those navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and
disconnection — guiding them toward self-trust, authentic
relationships, and meaningful growth. Healing starts here —
and you don’t have to do it alone.
Offering virtual therapy sessions throughout Alberta, your journey to authentic healing starts here.
