Hello, Bonjour,  

I’m Michelle Davis, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Cognitive Hypnotherapist. 
 
Over the last 10-years, I have worked in Canmore with adults and children to help people manage and overcome symptoms of anxiety, stress, trauma, and depression, and various other challenges people face, such as addictions, PTSD, burnout, performance anxiety and exam stress. 
 
My approach is trauma-informed and people-centred, offering people tools and techniques so that they can be their own therapist and support their long-term mental health and wellbeing. I acknowledge historical and ongoing injustices and disparities within the healthcare system, and am working to decolonize my practice. Together, we can make a plan to find the right fit for you. When we meet, you will be invited to share your name,  pronouns, and anything you would like me to know about you. I do not assume gender, sexuality, or relationship status. I commit to alleviating people the burden of educating in session, especially those who hold identities that have been historically marginalized. I am committed to my own ongoing learning, supervision, and anti-oppressive training. 
 
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation if you would like to find out more, and to make sure my approach is right for you. Alternatively, you can book an in-person or virtual appointment through the booking system, and any questions can be emailed to me on [email protected], or you can call me on (403) 707-5589 if you would like more information before booking.
 
I look forward to sharing this journey of self-discovery with you.

Michelle

Dr. Melissa Jay is an Indigenous, nehiyaw-Métis member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. The primary location of Canmore Counselling and Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is located in Chuwapchipchiyan Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore. We are grateful to be located on Treaty 7 territory and the current and ancestral lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), which includes of the Bearspaw First Nation, Chiniki First Nation, and Goodstoney First Nation, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika First Nation, Piikani First Nation, and Kainai First Nation. This is also the home to the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory. We recognize all Nations who continue to nurture these lands, and we are dedicated to uplifting Truth, language, and culture as essential to right relations. As an act of reconciliation and commitment to decolonization, we are committed to the TRC's Calls to Action. 

At Canmore Counselling, we are also privileged to be yoga students, practitioners, and guides. Our offerings centre on the root of yoga as Indigenous to South Asia, and we are grateful to learn from and amplify the South Asian practitioners and teachers whenever possible. We are grateful for the eight limbs of yoga, as taught by Patanjali. It is a joy to walk alongside our incredible alumni of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School as they create opportunities for care, connection & curiosity within their communities. 

We believe wholeheartedly that trauma-informed care requires commitment to community, social justice, decolonization, anti-oppression, and anti-racism. Thank you for being here :)​
