Hi, I’m Melicia, co-founder and Registered Psychotherapist here at Resiliency House Counseling. As our name suggests, we aim to assist you on your journey to a more wholesome, joyful and resilient version of yourself.
As a therapist, my practice is centred around your wellbeing, ensuring that there is an environment of emotional safety, where you can feel seen, heard, validated and accepted. With more than a decade of clinical experience, you can trust that you will be treated with the use of the most effective, evidence-based therapeutic approaches. As a child and family therapist, my expertise includes areas such as depression, mood and anxiety disorders, neurodevelopment, lifespan transitions, relational trauma, parenting challenges, behavioural intervention, emotional regulation and inter-family dynamics. At the forefront of each intervention is the belief that everyone has inherent strengths that can be utilized for their benefit. Other interventions frequently used include, Child and Infant Mental Health interventions such as: Triple P-Positive Parenting (Behavioural-based approach), Zones of Regulation (Emotional regulation intervention), and Circle of Security (Attachment-based approach). I am also certified in Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (components), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma Focused Interventions.
As an immigrant and a Caribbean native, I have always been passionate about cultures. Which is why cultural diversity and inclusivity are important to me. My practice is tailored to understanding the unique nuances of the immigrant experience, as this can often impact a client’s level of acclimatization and ultimately their mental and emotional health. My hope is that clients know that they are in a safe space created specifically for them.
Change is challenging, and I would like to help you make strides on your journey to healing. If you would like to connect with me, please feel free to reach out through email at resiliencyhousecounseling@gmail.com to book your free 20 minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.

You want to feel confident in who you are, but right now you’re stuck in self-doubt, people-pleasing, or putting everyone else first. You second-guess your decisions, struggle to set boundaries, and feel like you’re losing touch with your own voice. It’s exhausting—and isolating.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I work with young adults who are ready to let go of old patterns, strengthen their self-worth, and start showing up more fully in their lives and relationships. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in your way and build the tools you need to speak up, feel grounded, and trust yourself again.
My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I’ll always meet you with compassion—but I’ll also gently challenge you when needed, because growth lives outside your comfort zone. I use a blend of strength-based, culturally sensitive, person-centered and solution-focused approaches to support you in creating real, lasting change.
If you’re ready to feel more confident and in control of your life, I’d love to help. Let’s talk.
