Melissa Harper, BA, MC, RCC

Melissa Harper View Specialties


As a registered clinical counsellor (MA, RCC) based in Victoria, BC, I bring over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult and transformative moments. I’ve worked in both inpatient addiction treatment and private practice, and I understand how complex healing can be—especially when trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles are part of the picture.
 
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. Sessions with me often feel like a thoughtful, real conversation—where you’re met with curiosity, not judgment, and supported in exploring what’s working, what’s not, and what healing could look like for you. I blend evidence-based practices like trauma therapy and somatic work with creativity, humour, and compassion. Whether you're untangling past trauma, learning to set boundaries, working through grief, or building tools to manage anxiety or emotion regulation, therapy with me is tailored to who you are and what matters most to you.
 
Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling lighter, more empowered, and better equipped to handle life outside the therapy room. I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit—and that, with the right support, even the most painful parts of your story can begin to shift.
 People often describe me as warm, intuitive, and down-to-earth. Outside of work, I love salty ocean air, cheering on my favourite sports teams, and spending time with my family and my chocolate lab, Indiana Bones.
