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 in the therapeutic setting, while also utilizing various counseling frameworks to empower people to create the change they desire in their lives.

I have a great deal of experience working with both youth and adults. I have specific interest in many areas including, trauma and relationships challenges. I recognize the importance of interpersonal connections to optimize personal health and well-being, therefore I strive to create a therapeutic alliance based on safety and trust.

I approach each counselling relationship with respect and utilize a blend of several therapeutic modalities such as, but not limited to, CBT, DBT, EFT and strength based approaches. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy which is a trauma-informed approach that can produce quick relief of various mental health symptoms.
