Melissa Collins

Do you feel like you are holding everything together on the outside while feelings anxious and exhausted on the inside-this space is for you. I help overwhelmed women find calm, confidence, and balance through compassionate therapy for anxiety, stress and the mental load of work and/or motherhood. You don't have to carry it all alone.

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors, and who are wanting to unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I work with couples who want to learn effective communication skills, improve emotional/sexual intimacy, and rebuild respect and trust.

We will work together to build upon your strengths, gain understanding and self-compassion while also mastering new skills to overcome problems and stressors in your life. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, emotional distress, relationships, Womens health (including pregnancy, postpartum, and infertility), and trauma survivors. For couples I see in my practice, I use a Gottman method approach.

As your therapist, I will mindfully hold space for you while being supportive, compassionate, and empathic to your needs and goals for therapy. You will have the opportunity for emotional healing, being your own catalyst for change and create more meaningful relationships. If you wonder what therapy with me would be like I offer a 15 min phone consult. I look forward to hearing from you and assisting you on this journey.
