Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges?
Depression, anxiety, grief, stress, family conflict, and other hardships can make peace and happiness feel out of reach. But it doesn’t have to be – together we can find a path forward.
Hello, my name is Melanie Roy, B.A(Psych)., MSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist practising in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
I know that no two journeys are alike, and that’s why I prioritise creating personalised and authentic treatment plans for my clients, built with them, not for them.
Who I Help:
Individuals
Individual therapy is therapy that’s held one-on-one with me, providing a supportive environment to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I see both adults and teens (13+) in individual therapy.
Individual therapy helps by providing you with a safe space to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, and gain insight into personal challenges, leading to improved mental and emotional well-being. It empowers you to navigate life’s difficulties, build healthier relationships, and make positive changes.
I see individuals who experience:
- Mood Disorders (e.g., Depression and Bipolar Disorder)
- Personality Disorders (e.g., Borderline Personality Disorder)
- Anxiety Disorders (e.g., General Anxiety, Phobias, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD))
- Neurodivergence (e.g., Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD))
- Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Interpersonal Conflicts
- Grief and Loss
- Self-Harm and Suicidal Ideation
- Body Image and Eating Disorders
- Addictions
Children and Teens
Just like Individual Therapy for adults, therapy with children (ages 4–12) and teens provides a safe and supportive space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Therapy is geared towards each child or teen’s developmental age and ability by providing a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviours and develop coping strategies through the use of talk, play, and art.
I see children and teens who experience:
- Behavioural problems
- Emotion regulation issues
- Anxiety Disorders (e.g., General Anxiety, Phobias, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
- Neurodivergence (e.g., Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD))
- Mood Disorders (e.g., Depression)
- Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Grief and Loss
- Self-harm and Suicidal Ideation
- Body Image and Eating Disorders
Families and Relationships
Relationship and family therapy is a form of therapy that helps partners and families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship. It provides a safe space to address issues like trust, intimacy, or recurring conflicts. Relationship and family therapy can foster healthier interactions, deeper understanding, and a stronger relationship foundation.
I see partners and families who’ve experienced:
- Communication Issues
- Parent-child Conflicts
- Behavioural Problems
- Blended Family Adjustments
- Divorce or Separation
- Grief and Loss
- Trauma
- Life Transitions
