Melissa Johnston

With a Master’s in International Disaster Psychology, I bring a deep understanding of how high-stress situations, major life changes, and difficult events shape our lives. This educational background has given me a unique perspective on human resilience and our ability to bounce back from adversity, ensuring you always have a safe, compassionate space to heal at your own pace. I frequently work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and the deeply rooted patterns of complex trauma. Together, we will build a supportive relationship focused on helping you achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life.

In our sessions, I strive to create a space that is both collaborative and supportive. I aim to offer a welcoming environment where you can safely challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone, knowing you have steady support every step of the way. We will explore where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you hope to go, all with the goal of helping you achieve a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Your first session is a low-pressure space focused on getting to know each other and understanding your immediate needs. I will invite you to share your story, discuss your current challenges, and ask any questions you might have about the therapy process. Together, we will identify the areas you want to focus on first and explore what progress looks like for you. My hope is that you walk away from this session feeling a genuine sense of relief and clarity about our next steps.
