In my practice, we create a welcoming environment where you can face these challenges with confidence. I combine empathy with clear guidance, helping you untangle and manage complex feelings that arise from difficult life events.

If you're seeking a therapist who champions significant healing and personal advancement, let’s connect and make meaningful changes together.

Are you struggling with personal or career demands, persistent negative belief systems or trauma (past or present)? The professions, pressures and adversity we all face are unique, but the common mental load of 'trying to do it all' crosses all demographics and employment sectors. Individual well-being, relationships, parenting, family dynamics and careers place intersecting demands that inevitably lead to overwhelm and burnout. Addressing underlying trauma themes and negative beliefs, while pragmatically navigating our numerous responsibilities will lead to a more peaceful and successful experience, personally or professionally.

Over 30 years, I have the privilege of talking to, listening to, walking with and praying for women & couples who struggle with their family, marital, and interpersonal relationships. In 2002, I graduated with a MA in counselling. Since then I have been counselling formally in the Calgary area. I love to help women to reconnect with God in their spiritual struggles and work on their relationships with others. I have journeyed with many women who experience domestic abuse. The vicious cycle has kept many in terrifying living situations. I also enjoy working with couples who love each other but have a hard time getting along.

At some point in our lives we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed with a problem and unable to find a way out. Reaching out for support can provide an opportunity to learn alternative, healthier ways to cope and discover one's true self. My training in Marriage and Family Therapy and my diverse clinical experience, have allowed me to assist clients to discover and break their existing patterns that are keeping them stuck. Therefore, allowing them to develop insight, awareness, and a new outlook on the challenges they are facing, enabling them to lead more fulfilled lives and build stronger relationships.

Having a foot in two different worlds can be challenging and as a South-Asian Canadian therapist, I am aware of how cultural differences can affect our mental health. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for children, teens, and adults to embark on this journey of healing by using tools from various therapies (i.e. cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, and trauma-informed approaches). This journey is about you, and our sessions will be tailored to fit your unique strengths and needs.

I believe we all have the capacity to heal and learn how to live a life worth living, despite challenging and painful experiences in our lives. I believe the coping strategies we develop can start creating problems if we don’t address the underlying cause. Therapy is a safe space to explore, identify, address and resolve these issues, often creating transformational growth. With over 30 years’ experience working with, and treating clients with a variety of mental health, addictions and trauma related issues, I have delivered therapy through individual and group work, and I am passionate about both approaches.

Sometimes life is messy and complicated, and we don’t always have the tools or strategies to manage what comes our way. Sometimes we need a different perspective, or a challenge to see things in a new way. Sometimes we need to have the hard conversations. Whatever it is for you right now, welcome. My goal is to work with you to get you where you want to be. We'll do that using a variety of tools, techniques, and approaches throughout our counselling process, all the while focusing on our relationship (this part's key). We'll collaborate together and I'll seek your feedback along the way.

I've been in the helping profession for over 20 years. What I know for sure is that the desire for healing is common and yet each story is unique.

Experiencing adverse life events like trauma during our developmental years can dramatically impact our quality of life. By challenging this programming and recontextualizing it, we can develop a new sense of ourselves that is more resilient and better able to show up authentically in our relationships. Since trauma often occurs within a family dynamic, I am also able to effectively treat youth (12+) and families struggling with dysfunction.

With over 15 years of experience across community, non-profit, and school-based settings, I've supported individuals of all ages through life's challenges. As a relationship-based therapist, I deeply value the connection between therapist and client. My approach fosters empathy, compassion, and unconditional positive regard, creating a supportive environment for growth.

Things are often not what they appear and our past experiences might have negative effects on our self-esteem and self-image, how we perceive things, and how we relate to the others. Those past experiences often prevent us from moving forward in life and keep us stuck. I have been passionately providing counselling to individuals, couples, children and families and supporting them in their journey to reaching full potential. I help clients who are facing depression and anxiety as a result of life challenges, such as relationship issues, divorce and separation, past traumas, parenting issues, health concerns etc.

Hello. My name is Melody Evans. Welcome to my practice, Can’t We Just Get Along Counseling? The name of my practice is unconventional, but I believe it reflects a truth about life: at some point, we all struggle to get along with someone in our lives. It may be a person we work with, live with, are in love with, or even ourselves. This disruption can profoundly affect people's mental health. As the founder and senior therapist of Can’t We Just Get Along Counselling, my company's mission is to assist in alleviating psychological pain caused by trauma and relationship issues. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families.

Many of us are unaware of how our family influences and past traumas and experiences continue to create conflict in our existing relationships. The resulting behaviours are often self-defeating, painful, and unfavourably impact others. My own lived experiences and the validation of the approaches I use creates an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment that allows you to experience a new positive sense of self and others.

You are overthinking, worrying, having difficulty sleeping, and unsure how to control your emotions. Symptoms of anxiety can cause you to shut down due to an increase of distress in your body. This can make socializing, work-related tasks, chores, and maintaining relationships with friends and family too overwhelming. You are feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. You are here for a reason. Allow me to support you as you deserve to be well and find yourself again.

I am committed to helping clients achieve a greater sense of well-being, fulfillment and success through working collaboratively to develop better personal awareness, overcome limitations and implement effective practical strategies so that clients can live more inspired and purposeful lives. My passions include: counselling and coaching people through career, business, sport, and life transitions; effectively managing anxiety and depression; relationship, family, and workplace challenges; and developing communication and leadership skills.

I enjoy helping others and have over 15 years experience in the helping professions. I work with adults, children and families and specialize in trauma, neurodiversity, family conflict, parenting, anger and self regulation. I am also skilled in helping those who choose to use violence in their relationships. I work from both a trauma informed and attachment based lens.

Are you and your partner easily triggered by each other, creating consistent conflict? Or have you stopped expressing what you feel and think, resulting in loneliness and disconnection? Have either of you communicated that you’re unhappy? Imagine if you could learn how to identify and work on your contribution in a relationship, share thoughts and feelings productively with another person, and listen non-defensively and with curiosity. It’s exciting when people take a risk to engage with others in a different way and feel good about the action they took.
