Melanie Fuller (She/Her)

When finding a way out of the woods, one packs a compass and choosing a therapist is no different. You are taking a meaningful step in your life, and I am here to help. I can offer you a respectful, collaborative, strengths-based approach in a supportive and safe, non-judgemental space where you can reflect, skill build and feel heard. In our first session, we will get to know each other, and I will ask you about your presenting challenges and preferred outcomes. In subsequent sessions, I will gradually integrate skills, concepts, role play and dialogue that pertain to trauma-informed dialectical behavioural therapy (with your consent and at your pace) in ways that align with your values and help you attain the way of living you seek. I will collaborate with you to demystify personal values from unhelpful thought patterns and cultivate your unique and personal integration of mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills into your life. Currently, I practice online (private practice) and in-person while I complete my MC graduate thesis on parents' reflections of high-conflict co-parenting before, during and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with Athabasca University.
