Space to pause
I work with people in demanding times; when responsibility feels heavy, transitions feel uncertain, or the path forward isn’t obvious.
In our work together, I offer a grounded, steady presence. We slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and help you reconnect.
From that place, clarity can emerge. And when it does, meaningful, lasting change becomes possible.

I’m Tanya Melykuty — an MSW-trained registered social worker and registered nurse with years of experience in mental health and wellbeing.
I offer evidence-based therapy shaped by compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. This is a place for you to reconnect, find clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change.
You may be adjusting to new parenthood, carrying responsibility for others, navigating life changes, or noticing sleep and mood changes that don’t feel like “you”.
Therapy here is thoughtful, well-paced, and focused on restoring steadiness.
Areas I support
-
You’re planning, expecting, or navigating early parenthood and everything feels different.
The transition into parenthood doesn’t always feel the way we expect and support doesn’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming. Many people reach out simply because they want steadier footing during this time.
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”
-
Caring for others is taking more than it’s giving.
Caring for others, supporting people at work, or holding responsibility in your relationships or family life can be meaningful, but also emotionally and physically demanding.
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
-
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
-
Periods of change can feel unsettling, even when they’re 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”
-
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 this space is the right fit.
