Mrs. Melody Evans, Registered Psychologist
About Me
With more than 20 years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional change. While my work includes extensive experience in relationship and couples therapy, my primary area of expertise is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trauma therapy.
I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, credentials that reflect advanced training, clinical experience, and expertise in the application of EMDR for trauma, PTSD, attachment injuries, relationship trauma, anxiety, and other complex emotional concerns. In addition to providing EMDR therapy, I enjoy mentoring and supporting other therapists in their EMDR development and am an approved clinical supervisor with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP).
Education & Experience
I hold dual professional designations as a Registered Psychologist and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University and have completed advanced training in both trauma treatment and relationship therapy. My relationship work is informed by training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy approach, allowing me to integrate evidence-based couples interventions with trauma-informed care.
My approach is warm, approachable, and client-centred. I believe that many relationship struggles are rooted in unresolved life experiences and attachment wounds, and I am passionate about helping clients move beyond symptom management toward meaningful healing and lasting transformation.
