Melissa Rogers

Counsellor

Hi there! I’m Melissa, and I’m excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you in reaching your therapeutic goals! My approach is rooted in recognizing and leveraging your strengths, while also addressing systemic oppression. Together, we’ll uncover your inherent strengths and develop effective coping strategies tailored to your unique circumstances.

I embrace a harm-reduction philosophy, respecting your autonomy and meeting you where you are on your journey to wellness. With over 15 years of experience in social services, including over a decade specializing in mental health and addictions case management and counseling, I bring a wealth of knowledge to our sessions.

I’m particularly passionate about supporting individuals who have faced gender-based violence, acquired brain injury, and those within the LGBTQIA+ community. Drawing from my own experiences with acquired brain injury and gender-based violence, I offer a deeply empathetic and understanding approach. Additionally, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I actively engage in community initiatives that celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity. Let’s work together towards positive change and empowerment!
