Great to meet you!

Melissa Gaudet is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adults (18+) through life’s most challenging and transformative moments. She specializes in working with individuals navigating trauma, substance use, and life transitions, offering a compassionate and grounded space for healing.

Melissa’s approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and holistic, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body awareness to support meaningful, lasting change. She believes that healing happens when clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to explore both their struggles and their strengths.

With a warm and collaborative style, Melissa works alongside her clients to build insight, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Melissa offers virtual sessions with flexible availability, including evenings and weekends, making therapy accessible for those with busy schedules.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to fit you—I want our work together to feel manageable, respectful, and meaningful.

What you can expect from me

The first session will be all about you! There will be time to share about your life and your goals so that we can collaborate on moving towards them at your pace.
