Mellisa Duffy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Alaska with over 9 years of experience working as a counselor and case manager. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, MST, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and career challenges. I also helped many people with body image and self worth, and confidence issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a judgement free and safe space. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic therapy. I also tend to favor Solution Focused Therapy meaning there is a specific goal trying to be accomplished in a predetermined amount of time. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Leaving a session clients can expect to walk away with some type of homework whether it be for the week or month. I like to allow clients to be creative when they like to. I like to create an atmosphere for our sessions that can help you to feel more calm, relaxed and at peace. Our session time together may be the only time in the day that it is all about you, and I want you to use that time for you and feel no guilt about that focus and making yourself a priority.
