Behind the Business of Calming Tree (with Melissa Reid)
Melissa is a compassionate and experienced therapist who supports individuals and families through challenging times. She works with clients experiencing grief and loss, as well as those navigating symptoms or experiences of trauma. In addition to her clinical work, Melissa now provides supervision to therapists and students pursuing degrees in counselling or social work.
Her approach is warm, empathetic, and tailored to meet each person’s unique needs. Over the years, Melissa has developed extensive experience in grief and bereavement counselling, helping people cope with the death of a loved one and other significant forms of loss—including those related to diagnosis, fertility challenges, caregiving, divorce or separation, the death of a pet, and job loss.
Melissa is also deeply passionate about adult attachment and trauma therapy. She is trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and is committed to lifelong learning, continually engaging in training and professional development to deepen her practice.
