Gottman Referral Network

About

Hello, my name is Melody Evans. Welcome to my practice, Can’t We Just Get Along Counselling (Melody Evans and Associates). Although the name is unconventional, it reflects a truth about life and human relationships: at some point, we all struggle to get along with someone in our lives. It may be a person we work with, live with, are in love with, or even ourselves. This disruption can profoundly affect people's mental health. I believe in the Gottman method and know that if you have the tools and skills that make relationships work, you can transform your life and your relationship. I help couples connect and communicate to create a successful, loving, committed relationship and improve their well-being. Holding two designations, one as a Clinical Psychologist and the other as a Marriage and Family Therapist, coupled with over 20 years of experience in relationship therapy, gives me the skills to help couples strengthen and heal their relationships. I have a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Loma Linda University, and level 3 training from The Gottman Institute in the Gottman Couples Therapy Method. I am also a Trauma/PTSD expert who specializes in EMDR, a form of trauma therapy that stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Through EMDRIA, the EMDR International Association, I am a certified EMDR therapist and approved EMDR consultant.
As a senior therapist and the co-owner of Can’t We Just Get Along Counselling, I enjoy working with provisional psychologists as an approved clinical supervisor for CAP (The College of Alberta Psychologists). People often ask if being a psychologist is a challenging and discouraging job. I say the opposite. It’s an inspiring job that allows me to see humans' resilience and capacity for change. Myself or one of my Gottman-trained team members would be happy to help you improve your life and relationships.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
