Melissia Saxton

I've spent more than thirty years working in psychiatric nursing, most of it inside a state hospital ward, and now I'm building a private practice where I can bring that same care to people on their own schedule. I focus on bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and I also support people working through PTSD. I know how overwhelming it can feel to ask for help, so I try to make our first conversation feel calm and unhurried. I'm currently building my caseload and welcome new clients who want a steady, experienced partner in their care.

I listen first and build a plan together, rather than telling you what to do. My approach is warm and empowering, I want you to feel like an active partner in your own treatment. I stay open minded about what each person needs, adjusting as we go so care fits your life, not the other way around.

In our first session, we'll talk through what brought you in, your history, and what you're hoping will change. I ask a lot of questions so I can understand the full picture before we talk about medication or a treatment plan. You'll leave with a clear next step and a sense that you were heard.
