Melissa MacNeill (She/Her)

I consider it a privilege to connect with clients in a manner that's genuine and authentic. I look forward to exploring your unique experiences, relationships, and emotional worlds throughout the therapeutic process. When we are feeling disconnected from our loved ones, we can feel even more lonely when we are together than when we are alone. This can be tremendously painful for everyone involved. When working with couples and families, I come alongside to help you find your way back to each other. I work with you to help you reestablish connections with those that make your life feel full and your home the safe space you look forward to getting back to at the end of your day. My clients describe me as easy to talk to, caring, and compassionate. I have worked with a wide range of clients struggling with a variety of issues, including, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, boundaries, and unmet or unexpressed needs, fears, and desires, life transitions, complex trauma, grief and loss. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy services. I'm currently accepting new clients for my waitlist. Genuine Connection Therapy Services is located near Keating Cross Road in Central Saanich in a private detached building, with covered parking and level access. All appointments are currently scheduled through secure video. I am looking forward to resuming in-person appointments in the future. In the meantime, the efficacy of telehealth has been well supported and I'll work with you to ensure the process is as easy as possible. I've completed additional training in providing telebehavioral health services to advance my ability to serve clients.
