Melissa Wummel

Hi ! My name is Melissa, and I’ve been a practicing therapist for over 10 years. I’ve developed a reality-based approach to therapy using CBT and other evidence-based practices to create meaningful, client-centered change. I earned my Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Wayne State University, where I specialized in an integrated therapeutic approach that recognizes the critical impact of trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and environmental stressors on mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to explore any issue or concern. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I will meet you where you are and work collaboratively toward your goals. Let me be there for you, therapy helps you carry the weight of the world or just help you make your way through your day.

Looking for a down-to-earth therapist to help you live a full and fulfilling life? Welcome! I take a real-world approach to therapy, helping you carry the weight of your emotions and the various struggles you may be facing. My therapeutic approach includes not only a thorough assessment of your current circumstances but also a tailored plan to address a wide range of mental health concerns — including, but not limited to, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, depression, and adverse childhood experiences that may still be impacting you today. I use a CBT-based approach that incorporates evidence-based practice guidelines to help you navigate and overcome the roadblocks that may have held you back in the past. This is a client-centered process, and I will meet you where you are. Together, we can move toward where you want to be. Just give me a call and see if we click! I look forward to getting to know you and being part of your journey.

In working with me, you can expect something that many individuals sadly find unfamiliar in their past experiences—you will be genuinely listened to, and more importantly, truly heard. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m honored and excited to be part of the journey you’ve chosen to begin. Life presents many challenges, and while some of your goals may currently feel distant or even out of reach, I’m confident we can work together to build the tools and resilience needed to face those struggles directly. My role is to support you in developing effective strategies that lead to meaningful progress—and ultimately, the growth and change you desire with a down to earth non-judgmental approach.
