Space to pause
Psychotherapy, wellbeing and organizational consulting
I work with people and organizations to strengthen wellbeing and move through change. Sometimes, that begins when responsibility feels heavy, transitions feel uncertain, or the path forward isn’t obvious. Other times, it means nurturing growth and exploring what’s possible.
In our work together, I offer a grounded, steady presence. We slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and help you reconnect with what matters.
From that place, clarity can emerge. And when it does, meaningful, lasting change becomes possible.
Two ways to work with me
I’m Tanya Melykuty, a registered social worker and registered nurse with over 30 years of experience across healthcare, public health, mental health, family wellbeing, and community-based practice.
I offer evidence-informed virtual therapy across Ontario, shaped by compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s experience. I also work with organizations.
Throughout my career, a fundamental question has been: how do we create the conditions for people and communities to be well and thrive?
Today, that question shapes both my psychotherapy practice and my work with organizations.
Therapy & Wellbeing
Areas I support
-
If you’re planning, expecting, or navigating early parenthood and everything feels different.
The transition into parenthood doesn’t always feel the way we expect. You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out.
You might be adjusting to:
Identity shifts and role changes
Emotional ups and downs
Relationship strain
A quiet sense that you “should be coping better”
-
If caring for others is taking more than it’s giving.
Caring for others, whether as a parent, a family caregiver or a helping professional, can be meaningful, but also exhausting.
You might be experiencing:
Emotional fatigue or burnout
Constant mental load and decision-making
Guilt, irritability, or feeling stretched thin
Difficulty setting boundaries or finding space for yourself
-
If sleep isn’t recovering—and it’s affecting everything.
When sleep is off, everything can start to feel harder.
This may include:
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
A mind that won’t settle at night
Ongoing exhaustion that isn’t improving
Sleep changes linked to stress, anxiety, or burnout
-
Change can feel unsettling, even when it’s expected or welcome.
This may include:
Life or identity transitions
Work or role changes
Health or family shifts
Fertility or preconception
A general sense that things feel “off”
-
If you’re struggling more deeply and need steady support.
If things feel intense, persistent, or overwhelming, we can talk about what level of care will best support you and whether I’m the right fit.
For Organizations
People do their best work when they feel supported, can develop their strengths, and take on challenges.
Healthy organizations create the conditions for this to happen. They make room for learning, meaningful relationships and new possibilities, while recognizing the important role that organizational systems and culture play in people's wellbeing.
I work with leaders and organizations to strengthen health and wellbeing, think through complex challenges, and explore opportunities for growth and change.
Strategic advising
Think through complex challenges and find practical ways forward.
Facilitated learning
Learning built around your people and your questions.
Customized workshops
Topics such as workplace wellbeing and burnout.
