Melissa Cayen
Registered Provisional Psychologist
Melissa is a Registered Provisional Psychologist who has always been fascinated by the field of behavioural sciences. From a very young age, her dream has been to work in mental health, wanting to help others through their struggles. Melissa believes that creating change does not have to fit into a one-size fits all approach. Instead, she believes that change is created when each individual and their personal experiences are at the heart of the therapeutic process.
Elizabeth Groat
Registered Provisional Psychologist
The nature of human existence is that no matter how hard one endeavours to avoid difficulties, everyone will experience challenging times, thoughts, feelings, emotions and pain. Through this reality, I feel that people can embrace their inner wisdom and cultivate the life they hope to live despite the broad range of human emotions we must all navigate. By identifying one’s inner strengths to engage in life meaningfully, people can experience a more intentional and richer existence, fulfilling their innate desire to live their best life even when they face hardships.
