New Intern Accepting Clients for September 2026-$80-$90 sliding scale per 50 min session.

Welcome!

Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.

I believe therapy is a deeply relational process, a space where we co-create healing together. I don’t position myself as the expert in your life—you are. Instead, I bring my lived experience, deep listening, and a commitment to unpacking the harms of the patriarchy, capitalism and colonization, reconnecting to self, and exploring what healing and liberation mean for you.

My work is relational, anti-oppressive and spiritual. I hold space for grief, joy, rage, and transformation. I cry with my clients, I show up fully as I am, and I believe that healing is both an individual and collective process. Whether you’re working through trauma, attachment wounds, relational struggles, intimacy concerns, or identity exploration, I will walk alongside you, honoring your lived wisdom while offering tools for integration and change.

"We're all just walking each other home."
- Ram Dass

What I Offer:-

Relational and couples therapy (attachment, conflict repair, intimacy, polyamory)
Sex therapy (shame-free exploration, desire, pleasure, painful sex, erectile concerns)
Trauma and nervous system healing (EMDR, somatic work, inner child healing)
Unpacking patriarchy and generational wounds (naming the systems that impact us)
Spiritual exploration and meaning-making (not religious, but deeply rooted in spirit and connection)
Queer, trans, polyamory, and kink-affirming therapy

How I Work:-

I bring my full self into the room-honest, present, and engaged. While I may have expertise in therapy, I believe in a deeply collaborative process where your wisdom and lived experience lead the way, and together we co-create a space for healing and exploration.
I integrate a spiritual lens, holding space for grief, joy, embodiment, and reconnection.
I use relational, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, PACT Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy.
I believe healing happens in connection. Therapy is not about fixing—it’s about witnessing, feeling, and remembering who we are.

About Mel Devine, RSW, RCC

I am a queer therapist, parent, and lifelong learner with a Master of Counselling and extensive training in trauma, relationships, and sex therapy. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me dancing, paddleboarding, spending time in nature, and enjoying good food and deep conversation. I live and work on the unceded lands of the K'ómoks Nation, holding gratitude for the wisdom of the land and its people.

If this resonates, let’s connect.

I May Not Be the Right Therapist for You If…

Therapy is deeply personal, and finding the right fit matters. I work best with clients who are open to self-exploration, emotional depth, and questioning the systems that shape us. If you’re looking for a therapist who is strictly clinical, distant, or follows a top-down expert model, I may not be the right fit.

About Amanda Whitehead

Life can bring seasons that leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or carrying more than we know how to hold. You may be navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply sensing that something no longer feels like you. Perhaps you've spent time trying to understand yourself, yet still find yourself caught in familiar patterns or longing to feel more grounded or at ease.

I offer a warm, collaborative space where we can slow down together and gently explore what feels most important. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, I'm interested in understanding your story, the experiences that have shaped you, and the strengths that have helped you make it this far. Together, we'll create space to explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, and cultivate greater self-awareness and capacity to navigate life's challenges.
