Welcome to my practice, Can't We Just Get Along Counselling?
Hello, my name is Melody Evans; I am a clinical psychologist who believes humans are resilient and have all the resources they need to thrive. However, at times we all struggle. Maybe it is to get along with somebody in our lives, partners, family members, co-workers, or even ourselves as we deal with the overwhelming challenges life can bring. These struggles can have an adverse effect on our happiness, but therapy can help. I use evidence-based Gottman couples therapy and EMDR trauma therapy to help people improve their lives. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, loss, divorce, conflict, anger, communication issues, and so much more, myself or one of my talented team members are here to help. Because you deserve to be understood, have peace, and find happiness.
I look forward to meeting you

How can a marriage counselor help?
It can be difficult to open up to your partner or spouse about tough feelings and relationship problems. If you struggle with feelings of loneliness, neglect, or unfulfillment in your relationship, those can be hard to share with your partner.
A marriage counsellor can help create a safe space where a couple can open up and communicate effectively. Trusting your spouse or partner with even painful feelings is often the first step in getting your relationship back on track. The marriage counsellor will act as an impartial mediator and help you break free of unhealthy patterns and behaviour.
Ignoring relationship problems is often the worst strategy. If you don’t address the problems in your relationships, they can grow and put more strain on your relationship. Just like you would see a doctor for a health issue, a marriage counsellor can help you treat and heal issues in a relationship before it breaks down.
Couples therapy can help you work through relationship issues big and small. Our marriage counsellors can offer tools for better communication and solve relationship problems. Not only can a marriage counsellor help you start your journey towards a happy and healthy relationship, but they can also help individuals work on improving their self-esteem and well-being.
