Melissa Horne

Hello, I'm Melissa. Enjoying life can be difficult when you're dealing with day-to-day stress, not to mention the bigger challenges you face. My role as a therapist is to support you in finding solutions for some issues and learning to regulate difficult emotions or cope with the distress of harder issues. Whether your goals are to be healthier, improve time management skills, or create healthier relationships, I am here to motivate and support you non-judgmentally on your journey. Together, we can also delve deeper into incidents and emotional states, working to create coping strategies and increase distress tolerance over time.

I use a combination of Western evidence based therapy and Eastern mindfulness practices individually tailored to your needs. We can practice Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, learn more about Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) principals, process traumatic events, or identify healthier practices for your everyday routines. I am familiar with a lot of different therapy modalities and open to bringing what interests you most or what I feel may be a good fit after some discussion with you.

There may be times where therapy opens up some memories and/or difficult emotions for you so I ask that you keep an open line of communication with me. Also, it is important to practice coping skills we may discuss to help regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, increase mindful awareness, and cope with elevated states or crisis more effectively.
