About Our Psychotherapists

Our Calgary therapists have extensive training and expertise in the mental health field, catering to various mental health concerns and prioritizing positive emotional well-being. They operate from a client-centred approach, supporting clients on their unique healing journeys.

Melody Evans M.Sc. R., Psych., RMFT

Melody is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families achieve positive transformations in their personal lives and relationships.

For over 20 years, Melody has been studying relationships and has helped many people make the positive changes they desire in their lives through solution-focused therapy. She has personally overcome a number of life challenges, so it’s safe to say she not only knows what challenge is but how to deal with difficulties when they arise.

Melody believes the name of her private practice, Can’t We Just Get Along Counselling, reflects an honest truth about life and relationships. At some point, we all struggle to get along with someone in our lives, whether it be the person we work with, live with, or even someone we love.

She would love to help you improve your life and provide support for the mental health challenges you are facing.

Priyanka Kumar

Priyanka’s dedication to crafting personalized sessions tailored to the unique needs of each person, couple, or family positions her as a compassionate ally adept at helping foster personal growth and enriching relationships.

Priyanka has over a decade of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with their personal mental health concerns or relationship struggles. She has experience delivering client-specific interventions and general assessments, as well as working with health, education, and social justice systems.

She aims to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where individuals and couples can rediscover the essence of who they are.

Whether it is tools to strengthen relationships and improve adaptive functioning, a safe space to process unfamiliar emotions, or ways to find meaning and hope in difficult situations and break away from unhelpful patterns, she looks forward to helping you achieve your goals through her therapy sessions.

Michelle Resch, MA

Michelle is eager to support you in an inclusive, safe, and supportive environment where you feel welcomed, especially if you’re in non-traditional relationships or identify within the LGBTQ2+ community.

Michelle has an eclectic background of life experience, including advocating with those affected by cognitive differences, working with vulnerable people from a harm reduction model, and working in the corporate world assisting in law. She currently works with individuals from teens to adults and couples.

Inclusion and diversity are important to Michelle, and she warmly welcomes those with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Can’t We Just Get Along Counselling, we believe that when seeking therapy, it’s crucial that you trust your therapist. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where you can get to know us and ensure we’re the right fit for you.

 

Additionally, we ensure the right fit by matching you with a psychologist who specializes in the specific area of issues you want to address. This personalized approach can significantly enhance the effectiveness of therapy, as it allows for a deeper understanding of your concerns and allows therapists to tailor the treatment to meet your unique needs.

 

All of our therapists can deal with various needs, including emotional difficulties, anxiety disorders, relationship concerns, and life challenges, all with a primary focus on enhancing mental wellness.

At Can’t We Just Get Along Counselling, our individual therapy is commonly broken down into three/four phases:

 

Assessment Phase (1-3 sessions): In the Assessment Phase, the clients get to know the therapist, explain their challenges, and set a therapy goal.

 

Working Phase (8-24 sessions): The Working Phase is when the work begins through therapy interventions, learning new tools, and having therapeutic conversations that can help you to reach your therapy goal.

 

Closure Phase 1-3 (sessions): Once you have reached your goal, you review what has changed and test the stability of change.

 

Maintenance Phase: Monthly, quarterly, or yearly check-ins (as needed.) Clients come back for "booster" sessions if a relapse occurs or for proactive check-ins.

Our fees are based on the Recommended Fee Schedule provided by The Psychologists Association Of Alberta. Our therapists will discuss our session fees upon intake, and help you determine what therapist expertise will meet your needs.

 

If you have insurance, you may want to check that it covers both provisional psychologists and registered psychologists, as some don’t cover provisional psychologists.

Depending on your specific needs and goals, our therapists can provide the following types of counselling: 

 

  • The Gottman Method
  • EMDR Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
  • Interpersonal Therapy
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy and much more
