Melissa Counts

I have a Master of Social Work and I am an Independently Licensed Social Worker. I started in the field as a victim advocate and received specialized training working with populations that experienced sexual trauma, IPV, child abuse, human trafficking and traumatic grief/loss. I have experience in college counseling and enjoyed working with young adults to support them in life transition, relationship stress, managing anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, depression and developing task management skills.

I am a certified EMDR therapist that utilizes mindfulness practices, IFS, and CBT tools. I utilize a holistic lens in the treatment process and aim to build self-awareness with the mind and body.

I value the therapeutic relationship with establishing trust and connection as the foundation in the healing process. I work to create a safe space that is supportive and empowering. Collaboration is key throughout treatment in determining what your needs are and what strategies will work best for you.
