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. 

 

Hi there, 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:

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

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

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 people and families who’ve experienced:

  • Communication Issues
  • Parent-child Conflicts
  • Behavioural Problems
  • Blended Family Adjustments
  • Divorce or Separation
  • Grief and Loss
  • Trauma
  • Life Transitions
