Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Melissa Adrienne Jackson, LCSW-S. I specialize in supporting women who are navigating depression and healing from trauma. I founded Butterflies Therapy because I know firsthand the courage it takes to begin this journey and I am grounded in the belief there is hope for every person to heal, grow, and reclaim their strength and confidence.

My approach to therapy

At Butterflies Therapy, I believe healing is relational and rooted in safety. My approach blends evidence-based practices with trauma-informed care, ensuring that every client feels seen, heard, and supported.

I integrate modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to help clients process trauma, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their inner strength and confidence.

What you can expect from me

Your first session at Butterflies Therapy is a gentle beginning—a chance to slow down, feel safe, and start building trust. We know that reaching out for support takes courage.

You’ll be greeted with compassion and curiosity. We’ll start by getting to know you—your story, your strengths, and what brought you to therapy.

This is not an interrogation—it’s a dialogue. You’ll have space to share at your own pace, and we’ll explore your goals, concerns, and hopes for healing.
