Melissa Stewart

Hello, I’m Melissa Stewart. As a therapist-in-training and family service worker for 17 years, I’ve supported individuals and families from all walks of life. My professional journey, along with personal experiences navigating job changes, divorce, and single parenthood, has deepened my empathy and passion for walking alongside others during challenging times. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward. I understand how overwhelming life transitions can be and approach each session with compassion, care, and a genuine commitment to helping clients find their voice and resilience.

I’m especially passionate about working with individuals navigating relationship issues, identity exploration, grief, and other major life transitions. Clients often describe my approach as warm, grounded, and empowering. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, gain insight, and move at your own pace toward a more confident, fulfilling life. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I’m honored to be part of yours.
