About Us

At Maplewood Psychology, we offer support in a space that is warm, welcoming, and deeply attuned to the unique stories of every individual and relationship. We understand that recovery looks different for everyone, and we are here to walk alongside you with curiosity, care, and respect.

Like the maple tree, we honour the strength that comes with every season, in times of change, stillness, growth, and renewal. Wherever you find yourself today, you are invited to slow down, pause, take root, and begin growing in the direction that matters most to you. Reach out when you are ready.

Dr. Melody Tan

Clinical Psychologist

I'm a clinically trained psychologist passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families across different life stages, including those navigating trauma, neurodivergence, or faith-integrated care. With experience across early intervention, non-profits, and inpatient settings, I take a warm, respectful, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. Whether you're looking to understand yourself better, reconnect in your relationships, or find new ways to cope, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
