Melicia Dunchie
I have over ten years of experience working with diverse populations, specifically within the social services profession. Through clinical skills and knowledge, I aim to make a positive difference in the lives of my clients. With a combination of evidence-based therapeutic knowledge, and extensive educational and clinical experiences, I am passionate and competent to support clients in having successful outcomes and be effective advocates for their lives.
As an immigrant and a Caribbean native, I have lived in the melting pot of people, cultures and languages, and have always been passionate about cultures. Which is why I strongly believe in cultural diversity and inclusion; this is reflected in my work which is often underlined by cultural-sensitivity and an anti-racism/anti-oppressive stance.
Ultimately, I became a therapist to ensure that clients feel safe, seen, heard, validated and accepted. Change is challenging, and I am here to help.
