Melinda Cunningham

Are you looking for someone who will help you build skills to better manage life stressors?

Do you want to improve your relationship with yourself or others? I am a Registered Social Worker who strongly values relationships. My priority is creating safety and comfort, and I believe life experiences shape how we think, feel, and behave. I also believe that people are the greatest experts in their own lives. I recognize the power in sharing stories with a trusted person and use my training and experience to support and empower people to make the changes they desire in their lives.

​

I have experience working with both youth and adults and have an interest and training working primarily with people who have experienced trauma and relationship challenges. I approach each counselling relationship with respect and utilize a blend of approaches such Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is a therapeutic approach used to reprocess traumas, provide quick relief from mental health symptoms, and create capacity for change.
