Melia Hanna is a compassionate and empathetic Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) intern, currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. She is deeply committed to providing a supportive, non-judgmental, and accepting space where clients can explore their challenges and work toward personal growth.
​
With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, Melia has provided urgent emotional care and crisis intervention at the Distress Line Centre, offered counselling and mentorship to at-risk youth, and worked as a Safety Specialist with Airbnb. She has also contributed to a non-profit organization focused on supporting the emotional and professional development of Black and racialized youth, which has further deepened her understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals from diverse backgrounds.
​
As an immigrant woman, Melia has a particular interest in addressing the acculturation gap and other challenges arising from navigating multiple cultural identities. She is passionate about helping clients who are navigating the intersection of cultural expectations, belonging, and personal growth. In her practice, she brings empathy and understanding to those facing challenges related to culture, identity, and integration.
​
Her approach involves the deep exploration of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. She encourages clients to adopt new perspectives and find solutions that resonate with their unique experiences, always acknowledging that there are multiple ways to approach and resolve challenges. Her compassionate and accepting atmosphere provides space for vulnerable conversations, allowing clients to express themselves without fear of judgment.
​
Her education, work experience, and lived experience combine to create an ideal foundation for collaborating with clients on their therapeutic journey. When Melia isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with loved ones, travelling, and exercising.
If you’re seeking a psychotherapist who offers empathy, encouragement, and an open mind, Melia would be honoured to work with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
