Some of our clinicians may have limited availability or waitlist for new clients. If your preferred therapist isn’t available, we encourage you to book a free phone consultation with our founder, Dawn Lewis, to help us match you with another therapist who best fits your needs.

Mely Sio
Welcome! I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist and Certified Canadian Counsellor, currently pursuing my Doctorate of Psychology (PsyD), expected to be completed in Summer 2027. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy for adults and youth, supporting clients through challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based practices, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Hypnotherapy, and other approaches. I believe that each person’s story is unique and deserves to be met with empathy, respect, and understanding. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-awareness, healing, and balance in your life. New clients are welcome. You can book a free 15-minute consultation or a full session directly through this page.
