    You put so much heart into caring for your patients or clients – and we get how disruptive it can be when documentation doesn’t work the way you need it to. That's why Jane designed templates with dozens of customization options, so you can tailor your templates to your workflow and focus your energy on what matters.

    Here’s how Jane’s templates can help you stay on top of your documentation:

    • Never start from scratch with access to Jane’s practitioner-built template library.
    • Easily customize your templates with intuitive options as your practice grows and evolves.
    • Begin each appointment prepared with templates for every step of patient care, including intake form questionnaires, clinical surveys, and treatment plans.

    Ready to change your relationship with documentation? Book a demo with our team and explore how Jane can help.

    Melissa has been practising psychotherapy for 20 years and brings a thoughtful, integrated approach to her work. Her toolkit includes CBT, DBT, EFT, SFT, Trauma Therapy, EMDR, and Integrative Relationship Therapy.

    She shared that her own challenging adolescence set her on a personal healing path — and that psychology felt like a natural fit both for how she’s wired and for her deep interest in people’s inner worlds.

    Melissa completed her undergraduate studies in psychology and worked in a juvenile sex offender facility in the U.S. before returning to Canada in 2010. She now lives and works in St. Catharines.

    A passionate trauma therapist, Melissa continues to weave her lived experience into the support she offers clients. She’s also the proud (and busy!) mom of three daughters, ages 5, 7, and 16.

    Outside of work, she loves reading — both fiction and books that deepen her understanding of psychotherapy. At the time we spoke, she was reading Fire on the Horizon by Wilbur Smith and Judgment Detox by Gabby Bernstein.

    Melissa is currently accepting new clients and offers both virtual and in-person sessions. You can connect with her here:

    Thank you, Melissa, for your dedication to the art and craft of psychotherapy — and for all you bring to this field with heart and presence.

    With love,

    Mahshad
