Melissa Rosenberg

Change happens through the experience of being understood in a genuine and honest relationship, not by advice or interpretation. I support clients in encountering themselves more compassionately, recognizing their patterns, and discovering new ways of relating to others. My professional background is rooted in trauma-informed approaches to therapy. I primarily work with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

I'm passionate about both individual and group therapy. In addition to private practice, I've worked with clients in college counseling, community mental health, and addiction treatment centers.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that we grow and heal through connection. I draw from relational and developmental perspectives, and incorporate insights from neuroscience to understand how patterns like stress, attachment, and emotional responses are wired over time and how we can change them.

I tailor my approach to your individual needs by integrating modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, somatic, expressive arts, and mindfulness based approaches. I prioritize creating a collaborative space where safety, trust, and choice are central to the therapeutic process. You set the pace of our work, and we adjust our focus and depth to match what feels manageable and supportive for you.

The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another. We'll talk about what brings you in, your mental health history, and what you hope will become possible through our work together. I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to speak openly and be seen as a whole person.
