Hello!

My name is Melody Cesar (she/her) and I am the heart and guiding force behind Tulia Counselling and Consulting. I am a Registered Social Worker practicing in Treaty Six territory (Edmonton) and have called this place home my whole life but my roots are from Rwanda, Tanzania and Germany. I speak English, French, Swahili, and German. I have a deep-rooted passion for supporting individuals in need. 

 

I specialize in helping adults, couples, and families to heal from trauma and learn how to reconnect with people you love and find hope. The majority of my practice focuses on healing from the impact of trauma and supporting people to build the relationships they want in their life.  My approach is trauma-informed and led from an Intersectional Feminist, Anti-Racist, and Anti-Oppressive framework.

​

I believe in the power of connection and the profound impact it can have on the human experience.

What I Offer

I offer a safe and supportive environment to help individuals overcome their challenges and achieve their goals using evidence-based therapies such as:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR),

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT),

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT),

  • Exposure & Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), 

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT),

  • Animal Assisted Therapy

​

My mission is to offer an environment where individuals not only find solace but also feel truly seen and validated. The values of empathy, authenticity, and growth are woven into every session, as I accompany clients on a transformative journey toward emotional well-being.
