Hi, my name is Melissa. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have experience working with teens and adults from diverse backgrounds who are seeking symptom relief from trauma related problems, stress & anxiety, grief & loss, and depression.
My approach to therapy is trauma informed and goal oriented. I believe therapy should feel non-judgmental and safe; a place where clients can show up just as they are and feel seen, heard, and supported.
My goal is to collaborate closely with you to identify what you want to achieve through therapy.
I am highly trained and use a variety of modalities to help clients achieve healing, including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR), Sand Tray, and Motivational Interviewing.
My goal for our first session is to provide a warm welcoming space where you can feel safe, supported, and accepted. During our first session we will spend time getting to know each other and explore what you are hoping to gain by participating in therapy services. We will begin our work together to identify therapeutic goals and ways that we can achieve these goals together.
