Destiny Melo

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist who works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), emotional overwhelm, and a variety of personal challenges.

I often work with people who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or worry, struggle with managing intense emotions, or find themselves repeating patterns that are difficult to break. I also support individuals navigating trauma, neurodivergence, stress, self-esteem concerns, and challenges with behaviours or habits that no longer feel within their control.

I understand that everyone's experiences are different, and that what brings you to therapy doesn't always fit neatly into one category. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to understand yourself, or hoping to make changes in your life, my goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable exploring what's going on without judgment.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Together, we'll work toward understanding the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, building practical skills, and finding ways to move forward that feel meaningful to you.

I believe therapy is about more than managing symptoms. It's also an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your relationship with your emotions, and build confidence in navigating life's uncertainties.
