Melissa Hall

Sometimes the hardest part is not the problem itself but finding someone your kid will actually open up to. I work with children, adolescents, and adults around anxiety, ADHD, depression, and family challenges. My work inside a public high school has given me a ground-level understanding of the social pressures teenagers navigate today, and I bring that context into every session. I connect with younger clients through what matters to them, including gaming and pop culture, so therapy feels like a real conversation rather than an appointment.

Our work is focused on building skills that hold up in real life. For many of my clients, that means getting a handle on attention, emotional regulation, or the stress that just keeps stacking up. For others, it means working through something heavier like grief or trauma at a pace that actually feels sustainable. My training is grounded in trauma awareness and methods drawn from research, and I hold both of us accountable to the goals we set together. Progress looks like what you define it to look like, not an outcome someone else decided on

Our first session is really about getting to know each other. I want to hear what brought you here and what you are hoping to feel or do differently. There is no pressure to have it all figured out before we talk. If you are looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, I would love to connect.
