Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Melissa Vaswani, LMFT. I’ve been practicing therapy for 18 years and the mission of my practice has always been to make a positive impact and enable people to make meaningful changes.

The therapeutic approach that I use is based on my clients unique needs. I have a background in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. However, I don’t just limit myself to CBT. I always endeavor to meet every individual client where they are.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I love working with adults who are going through transitions in life and who are trying to make meaning of what they are experiencing. I work with depression and anxiety all of the time and enjoy helping people see that light at the end of the tunnel (because I promise it is there).

At this time I am not taking anyone who has EAP or has any safety concerns. If you do have any immediate safety concerns please call 988-crisis hotline, or for emergencies call 911/go to the nearest emergency room.

What you can expect from our first session

In the first session we will discuss a variety of topics that include symptoms, current life patterns, and background history. Together we will align on a treatment plan and goals that help you achieve your desired outcomes. All sessions are completely confidential and are structured on a foundation of openness, honesty, and empathy. I look forward to working with you, helping you accomplish your desired outcomes, and enabling you to live the life that you want to lead.
