Melissa Gandy

My communication style

I have a laid-back, comfortable approach. I work to hold space and provide empathy and nurturing, as well as gently challenge to encourage increased opportunities for growth through reflection and insight.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been someone who wants to support others. Creating a safe space to offer others comes naturally to me, and through therapy, I get the opportunity to join with others as they navigate through life.

My goals for you

A direct collaborative discussion during the first few sessions to establish specific, measurable goals, and then frequent checking to ensure continued alignment with them.

Our first session

Logistics of therapy: informed consent, confidentiality, and exceptions, etc. Then, complete a holistic assessment to determine the current level of functioning and begin to discuss goals and the focus of therapy.
