Melissa Countie

Finding the right fit for therapy can be a challenge. The therapeutic relationship can make or break treatment. As someone who has been a client herself, I understand how challenging it can be to take the first step. In our sessions, we will focus on progress, not perfection.

I have been working in mental health since 2018. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, day treatment and outpatient therapy. I have a deep understanding of levels of care and can make recommendations as needed.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to challenge themselves and is open to doing the work. Many of my clients are healthcare professionals or healers. I am a LGBTQ+ friendly provider.

I look forward to doing the work with you!

My approach to therapy is that the client is driving and I’m the one with the map, offering suggestions and direction. Ultimately, you are behind the wheel. I am a person-centered therapist and pull from interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindful Self Compassion and Somatic Therapy. I believe common humanity is essential as a therapist and showing we are both human excels treatment. We may laugh together, shed a tear together and ultimately my goal is to attune and challenge.

Our first session will be getting to know each other, setting expectations for therapy and exploring potential goals. This is an opportunity to pose questions, learn about what treatment options might be helpful and see if we are a good fit.
