Melissa Selka,

I hold a Master of Counselling from Gonzaga University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of British Columbia Okanagan. I am currently awaiting approval for registration as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC).

My counselling experience includes working with non-profit organizations dedicated to supporting individuals in the community. I have primarily
worked with youth aged 12 to 24, with additional experience supporting adults. I am deeply committed to ongoing professional development and take every opportunity to expand my knowledge and enhance my skills.

Outside of the counselling space, I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. I also value quiet time alone, reading and listening to a variety of podcasts.

My approach is rooted in reality therapy, which focuses on recognizing behavioural and emotional patterns, and on empowering clients to make choices that shape their lives. I believe the counselling space should be one where clients feel truly seen and heard.

While counselling can be a challenging journey, it’s not one you have to take alone. I believe that every person has the capacity to become the version of themselves they want to be.

I offer services in English and German.
