Melissa Spanton

Hello there, my name is Melissa Spanton. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I received my Master of social work in 2022 from Idaho State University.

I have noticed a need in our community for Life Skills training and family support. I can help organize your schedule, offering SEL and practical application of life skills to organize your life. I especially enjoy working with moms and kids. I have utilized a wide range of modalities in my practice including CBT, Self-compassion, MI, Art, Music, and Play therapy.

I love using a variety of tools in my practice with clients. I have an empathetic ear and hold a safe space for others. I embody a direct yet creative approach and believe the client is the expert of their own life. I would love to work together to help the client apply the skills and receive the actual support they need to succeed.

I pride myself on being a safe person and providing a direct and playful presence for my clients. Let's figure it out together. Your job is to tell me what you need, my job is to listen. Then we can effectively make a plan of action together and see it through together.
