Melissa Luongo

Registered Social Worker
MSW, RSW

I am a registered social worker and therapist at the clinic. I completed my Bachelors with Honors in Child and Youth Care at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and obtained my Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto. 

I have a wide range of experiences working with children and families, mental health, women's health, trauma, and crisis. I currently work as a perinatal social worker in a hospital setting. I am a caring and compassionate therapist who believe that no one should have to suffer through the difficulties and challenges of life alone. I work with my clients by meeting them where they are at, to help them recognize their own strengths in order to move forward in a positive way.

I have experience using a variety of therapeutic modalities, to best meet my clients where they are at, which include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I have also completed training focusing on trauma informed care, mental health and addiction, perinatal mental health, and child development.
