Hi I'm Melissa Cutler, I’m a clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting clients through concussion recovery.
My work bridges the psychological, emotional, behavioural, and social aspects of healing—helping you move forward in a more integrated and empowered way.
What makes me different?
Whole-Person Healing:
Are you feeling like you’ve lost a part of yourself after a concussion or brain injury? Struggling with chronic pain that no one seems to fully understand? Maybe you’re tired of hearing “you look fine” when inside, everything feels different.
For over 20 years, I’ve supported individuals facing the invisible, deeply personal, and interpersonal challenges that come with neurological injury and chronic conditions. Recovery isn’t just about symptoms — it’s about rebuilding trust in your body, your mind, and your life. Together, we can work toward meaningful healing.
Laser focus: Mind-Body Connection
Challenges with mood, sleep, and “getting going” are completely normal, even after the main concussion symptoms fade. I help clients:
Understand that mood and sleep changes are part of the process
Identify patterns that affect energy, focus, and motivation
Explore emotions and build confidence
Learn coping and relaxation skills
Rebuild daily routines that bring balance and purpose
Compassion in Action:
My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I meet you where you are, help you uncover what’s getting in the way, and guide you toward feeling like yourself again.
I’m constantly learning, adapting, and integrating new research and approaches in concussion care, holistic health, chronic pain management, and orthopedic rehabilitation,because recovery deserves both heart and science.
