Begin Your Inner Passage
A return to what’s real
You’ve done the work — the therapy, the books, the journaling. You’ve reflected, grown, survived.
And still, something in you whispers: this isn’t it.
You can feel the dissonance — between who you’ve become to stay safe, and who you sense you really are. You might not use the word trauma, but you know the cost of disconnection: the exhaustion of holding everything together, of doing for others while neglecting yourself, of living from masks that no longer fit.
This is the threshold — the quiet knowing that it’s time to return to what’s real.
If you’re ready to cross that edge — to move beyond insight into embodied change — welcome.
This work meets you where you are and helps you come home to yourself.
Meet Your Therapist
Melissa, MSW, RSW
A depth-oriented trauma and somatic therapist supporting adults ready to move beyond insight and into true transformation.
I specialize in complex trauma, attachment healing, nervous system regulation, and inner child work. My approach integrates parts work, somatic therapy, and psychedelic integration to support deep, lasting change.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and high-functioning on the outside — yet carry an inner sense that something still feels unresolved. You might notice patterns of people-pleasing, emotional caretaking, or disconnection from your own needs — ways you learned to stay safe that now feel limiting.
My work is relational and body-based — grounded in nervous system science, attachment repair, and parts-based healing. It unfolds at your pace, guided by your readiness rather than a prescriptive timeline.
If you’re holding exhaustion, reactivity, or parts of yourself that feel far away — this is a space to come home.
Depth-Oriented, Somatic & Psychedelic Integration Therapy
Insight opens the door. The body leads you through.
Depth-Oriented, Somatic & Psychedelic Integration Therapy
Insight opens the door. The body leads you through.
This is where transformation begins — not through fixing,
but through a return to your body, your truth, and your wholeness.
Therapeutic Approaches
I integrate a range of evidence-informed, body-based, and parts-oriented approaches to support deep, lasting change — always tailored to your unique pace and readiness.
-
Gently explores the protective and vulnerable parts of you, helping you reconnect with your core Self and foster inner harmony.
-
Supports nervous system regulation, body awareness, and reconnection with yourself after chronic stress or trauma.
-
Works with early relational wounds and identity patterns that continue to shape how you show up with yourself and others.
-
Helps process and resolve stuck traumatic memories and body-based emotional residues — at your own pace.
-
Makes space for meaning-making after expanded states — supporting emotional regulation, insight, and grounded transformation.
-
No single method can hold the complexity of being human. Each session draws from somatic, relational, and parts-based modalities, guided by what your system most needs in the moment.
This integrative approach honours the body, psyche, and spirit — supporting transformation that’s not just symptom relief, but a return to wholeness.
These approaches are woven gently and collaboratively into our sessions, guided by your goals and nervous system — not a rigid method.
Is this work right for you?
This isn’t therapy for crises or quick fixes. It’s for the parts of you that are ready for depth, nuance, and change.
You might resonate with this work if you’re beginning to sense that your old ways of coping can’t carry you where you want to go.
-
Insightful about your patterns, yet still repeating them
Living with the effects of early trauma, even if your life looks “fine”
Navigating internal conflict, shame, or subtle dissociation
Integrating a powerful psychedelic or spiritual experience that left emotional ripples
Feeling untethered in a major life shift — grief, parenthood, identity, endings
Longing to feel more regulated, relationally present, and fully yourself
You don’t need to be “more healed” to begin — only ready to go deeper.
