Melissa Coulson

I am a social worker with over 7 years of experience working as a medical social worker and clinician. My style is direct, positive, and warm with a focus on supporting clients while holding them accountable to their goals for treatment. I believe in helping clients to build their mental toolbox to address current issues and be better prepared to meet new challenges with confidence throughout the rest of their lives. My clients say I am easy to open up to, genuine, and a good listener.

My holistic approach includes techniques and components of cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, grief and bereavement, solution focused, acceptance and commitment, and humanistic therapies combined with motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and other interventions to address each client's concerns individually. I will structure our sessions and treatment plan to meet your needs and goals so we can address what brings you to this platform together.

When working with me clients are able to recognize, increase, and protect their capacity to have the best possible outcomes with the changes they are making and feel supported throughout this process. In addition, I like to give mutually agreed upon homework to practice what is discussed in session and support the shifts a client wants to achieve.
