Melissa has been practising psychotherapy for 20 years and brings a thoughtful, integrated approach to her work. Her toolkit includes CBT, DBT, EFT, SFT, Trauma Therapy, EMDR, and Integrative Relationship Therapy.
She shared that her own challenging adolescence set her on a personal healing path — and that psychology felt like a natural fit both for how she’s wired and for her deep interest in people’s inner worlds.
Melissa completed her undergraduate studies in psychology and worked in a juvenile sex offender facility in the U.S. before returning to Canada in 2010. She now lives and works in St. Catharines.
A passionate trauma therapist, Melissa continues to weave her lived experience into the support she offers clients. She’s also the proud (and busy!) mom of three daughters, ages 5, 7, and 16.
Outside of work, she loves reading — both fiction and books that deepen her understanding of psychotherapy. At the time we spoke, she was reading Fire on the Horizon by Wilbur Smith and Judgment Detox by Gabby Bernstein.
Melissa is currently accepting new clients and offers both virtual and in-person sessions. You can connect with her here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/277770
Thank you, Melissa, for your dedication to the art and craft of psychotherapy — and for all you bring to this field with heart and presence.
With love,
Mahshad
Each month, we showcase a member-suggested podcast episode as part of OSRP’s effort to bring you micro-reviews of insightful content in the field of psychotherapy. All materials are available free of charge as part of our member engagement initiative.
We invite you to submit podcast episodes that you found inspiring or educational. If your suggestion is accepted, you’ll also be compensated for your time. Enjoy, and happy listening!
(These podcast recommendations are for inspiration and learning. They don’t replace supervision, instruction, or CRPO regulations, and OSRP doesn’t officially endorse the content. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and use your professional judgment in applying what you learn.)
Title of Podcast Series: Three Associating: Relational Adventures in Psychoanalytic Supervision
Title of Episode: I’m Not OK That You’re OK

(Left to right) Rachael Burton, Prof. Gillian Straker (Supervisor), and Dr. Andrew (Andy) Geeves.
Andy brings an ethical challenge he’s facing with a client who says he’s ready to leave therapy because he’s overcome his shame about being “not a good person” who disappoints others, but his hurtful behaviour hasn’t changed a bit. Andy is horrified to have helped this guy accept his own flaws without seeking to change. Andy isn’t so sure that the therapy is really over but doesn’t want to impose his own morality – what to do?
Supervisor Gill engages deeply with Andy’s dilemma, inviting many possibilities including “projective identification,” a much-misunderstood concept. Gill invites both Andy’s and the client’s own suppressed moral compasses into consideration.
And speaking of morality, as the hosts indicate: “While reasons of confidentiality and privacy mean that none of the patients we discuss are real, the relational dynamics are.”
The camaraderie amongst these three is infectious. To listen is to feel part of their collegial bond while building competencies. This is a bonus for those of us who find top-quality supervision to be a scarce resource.
Also, the dilemmas that Rachael and Andy bring forward are deeply relatable, not exceptional. This creates comfort in knowing that the most common yet perplexing issues we run into in our work can be found all around the globe, and that introspection-with-another (ideally a trusted supervisor or peer) can be highly effective when we inevitably hit an impasse.

Anastasia’s path to becoming a psychotherapist started when she was studying life sciences and psychology in her undergraduate degree. With a growing interest in psychology and healthcare, she gravitated towards supporting folks through talk therapy and pursued training in psychotherapy.
Anastasia works with individuals, couples and families, and has extensive experience supporting families impacted by addiction.
We spoke in depth about how, initially, as a psychotherapy trainee, she did not expect to work as much as she has with couples; however, couples work has now become the core of her practice. Anastasia found her work as a couples therapist to be extremely rewarding and realized that the more directive approach required in this role sparked her interest in and aptitude for work as a clinical supervisor and mentor. She has now expanded her solo private practice to include another therapist. Her practice is called Hera Therapy, referring to Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage, and a nod to her Greek identity as well as primary focus on relationships.
She is currently accepting new clients (individuals, couples and families) both online and in-person on Fridays. Anastasia can be contacted via: https://www.heratherapy.ca/
Her office is in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood.
Thank you, Anastasia, for the wonderful conversation, it was a pleasure getting to know you and learning about your work.
Sincerely,
Alice
