Great to meet you!

I am Melisa Budhna, a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a degree from FAU, specializing in Mental Health and Addiction counseling. My practice is rooted in a collaborative approach, where I strive to foster a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. This space allows clients to explore their emotions and thoughts at their own pace, facilitating meaningful growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

My approach is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. I practice different therapy modalities to ensure knowledge of what will work best for your needs. I believe that communication and mutual respect are important in our therapeutic journey.

What you can expect from me

I like to begin with an introductory session, where we will have the opportunity to discuss who you are and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We will then set up sessions to work on your goals together.
