About Melonia Dyce,RSW, PMH-C:

I became a Social Worker because I wanted people to know there was always someone with them in their corner. Now in 2023, I remain dedicated to that goal.

Through my career I`ve worked with a variety of individuals including visual and hearing impaired adults, those involved with Child & Family Services, children with developmental delays, including Autism and at a Clinic providing Counselling Services for adults and youth experiencing anxiety, stress, ADHD, depression and infertility and loss challenges as well as with pregnant & postpartum populations.

After becoming a mum myself & experiencing a traumatic health scare with my 5 day old son, I obtained specialize training and certification through Postpartum Support International which means that as well as supporting the general population, I am qualified to support those who wish to start a family or are currently pregnant or in the postpartum stage of life (which really, is forever once you`re given birth). Additionally as an immigrant and daughter of a farming family I`m very familiar with the unique stressors that can result from both life transitions & agriculture.

I believe building a therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor is foundational in counselling. The type of therapy I use is tailored to suit each client but I primarily work from a Person Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Lens. This means, that while we acknowledge how the past has brought you to where you are today and the person you have become, we don`t spend all our time there, as we also focus on the present day and what you are currently having a tough time with. We also reinforce or discover what your strengths are and build on them together.
