Melissa Cheff, BSW/RSW
Psychotherapist & Owner
Hi, and welcome! I’m a Registered Social Worker (RSW) based in Sudbury, Ontario, providing compassionate, client-centered Social Work and Psychotherapy services to individuals and families. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, and build meaningful change in their lives.
My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework, and I strive to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for all clients.
My approach is integrative and tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, intimacy struggles, trauma, perinatal and postpartum needs, I am here to support you in finding balance, clarity, and reminding you of your resilience.
Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult. If you’re considering counselling or just want to learn more about how I can help, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. I’d be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey.
Braylee is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology, working toward registration as a Psychotherapist. She also holds an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, where she built a strong foundation in mental health, human behaviour, and therapeutic practices.
Braylee is passionate about fostering a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for those seeking support. Often the first point of contact for clients, she ensures every interaction is met with empathy, patience, and respect.
