Melissa Deneau

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT. I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and guide them in building practical tools to feel more in control of their lives.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based techniques. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I create a safe space where we can explore what’s keeping you stuck and work toward meaningful change. I believe that healing begins when you feel heard and empowered to take small, intentional steps forward.

Together, we’ll identify unhelpful patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop skills that promote resilience, self-awareness, and emotional clarity. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines structure with compassion, I’d be honored to support your journey

My approach to therapy is rooted in warmth, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity to grow. I offer a supportive space where you can explore your story, feel understood, and learn practical tools to move forward with greater self-compassion and clarity.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with practical tools, increased self-awareness, and a clearer understanding of how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more balanced, effective ways of coping. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and empowered to make meaningful changes. Over time, clients often notice improvements in mood, greater emotional resilience, and more confidence in managing life’s stressors.
