Melissa Sipolt

Making the decision to begin therapy/counseling is a big step, and I truly understand and respect the bravery and vulnerability that it takes for clients to reach out to a prospective therapist. Over the past 20+ years, I have successfully helped thousands of adults, adolescents, children, couples and families to heal their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, relationships issues, divorce, infertility, parenting, adoption, addiction, life transitions, and adverse childhood events.

My clinical style is warm, down-to earth, empathetic, nonjudgmental, and strength-based. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities, including traditional talk therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, Mindfulness/Mind-Body techniques, CBT, and EMDR.

I am a Clinical Trauma Professional, as well as an alumnus of the Harvard University Napa Infant-Parent Fellowship Program, where I trained directly with Daniel Seigel, MD, Bruce Perry, PhD., MD, and the esteemed T. Berry Brazelton, MD.

Clients can expect to feel heard, understood, and less stressed than before the session. If the client is open to it, I may offer goals, homework or affirmations for the next week.
