Melissa Lavallée is a Métis counsellor dedicated to creating safe, grounded, and culturally informed spaces for healing. She combines her academic training in psychology and counselling with lived experience and her connection to community, offering an approach that is both professional and deeply human.

Currently completing her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and practicum work with clients, Melissa also teaches in the Mental Health & Wellness Diploma Program at the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT). Her work is rooted in trauma-informed practice, Indigenous teachings, and evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Melissa believes that healing begins when clients feel truly seen and supported. She creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore stress, trauma, identity, and life transitions at their own pace. By blending CBT tools with culturally grounded perspectives and compassionate listening, she helps clients strengthen resilience, restore balance, and move forward with clarity and hope.
