Melissa Taylor MSW, RSW (she/her/we)

EMDRIA approved EMDR consultant

I am accepting new clients. 

If you’re carrying the weight of trauma, whether it’s from painful childhood experiences, generational trauma, anti-Black racism, systemic oppression, or feeling disconnected from your body and sense of self, you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I’m Melissa (she/her/WE), a trauma therapist who works with people who are ready to feel safer in their bodies, their relationships, and their world. I support Black, racialize, Indigenous, and 2SLGBTQIA+ who have been impacted by trauma, including intergenerational, developmental, and systemic trauma.

In our work together, you’ll find a space which honours your story, your boundaries, and your pace. I use a mix of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic therapy, Brainspotting, and talk therapy, always guided by the science of the nervous system and the belief that safety, connection, and choice are central to healing.

Whether you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, disconnected from your body, or overwhelmed by emotion, we can work together to help you reclaim a sense of agency, beauty, and ancestral wisdom.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting or fixing what happened. It means creating space for who you are now, and who you’re becoming.
