Melanie is Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC #23151
My name is Melanie, I work with individuals, couples, and families to navigate relational concerns using evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches. I am certified in both the Gottman Method for couples and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I draw from personal experiences that have given me valuable insights into resilience and healing. These experiences allow me to empathize deeply with clients who bring their unique life challenges to counselling. In therapy, I view our work as a shared journey: you steer the ship, and I am here as your guide, helping navigate toward your goals. Together, we’ll explore the challenges and obstacles that may be keeping you from the life you desire. Most importantly, I invite you to come as you are, as I believe that being fully present in this moment is the foundation for meaningful transformation.

Christina Faedo

RPC-C
Christina is a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC-C) with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association (#4321), and a registered member of the Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists.
Hello, I have been in the world of first responders since 2007 and spent over 14 years as a police dispatcher for multiple municipalities in the lower mainland. I have also spent over ten years volunteering & working within police-based victim services. In 2019 I was feeling burnt out and exhausted from the job I once found fun and exciting. I took the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) course at the JIBC and found a spark there to help others outside the realm of dispatching. I wanted to support those I saw struggling with their mental health and took a chance in 2020 by going back to school for counselling. Hoping to be able to further support both first responders, dispatchers as well as victims of crime and trauma I have focused my training on modalities that help clients work through all types of trauma. I utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotions Focused Therapy and frame my work from a Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed lens.

Logan Wirtz
Logan is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor Candidate (RTCc) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists, membership #3004.
Logan will be completing his candidacy with ACCT in the next few months, please note that once that is completed his session rate will be $145 a session.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to helping others, whether it’s a friend in need or working in a supportive profession. My fascination with the social sciences, especially the psychology behind how our brains form and break habits, has always fascinated me. Through my therapeutic journey, I found empowerment and self-realization. Embracing personal growth led me to pursue a career in counselling therapy. I’ve experienced firsthand the profound benefits of therapy, and I’m dedicated to offering that same support and service to others on their paths to healing and growth. In my approach to therapy, I strive to create a space filled with warmth, acceptance, and empathy. I believe that genuine connection and understanding form the cornerstone of effective therapy. To this end, I integrate a blend of narrative and cognitive therapeutic frameworks. By employing narrative techniques, I help clients explore and reframe their life stories, empowering them to find new meanings and perspectives. Simultaneously, cognitive approaches enable us to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, fostering healthier ways of thinking and coping. This integration allows me to meet clients where they are, providing a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where they can openly share their experiences and emotions. It’s about more than just addressing symptoms; it’s about understanding the person as a whole and working together to build resilience and a sense of agency.
My journey began with a volunteer position at a national crisis line. This role gave me valuable experience supporting those in need and deeply touched me with the many stories and struggles so many people are going through. While this work was incredibly important, I felt a strong desire to provide more holistic and long-term support. This motivated me to further my education and knowledge. Today, I’m proud to be a member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling and have begun developing my niche and therapeutic focus. Working with individuals who are experiencing different challenges, I’ve found my work shines with those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, neurodiversity, self-harm, and interpersonal challenges.
