Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Fort Pierce, FL

I had many years of corporate experience prior to getting my degrees in psychology. I use this expertise to help with problem solving as I did when I managed a large employee base.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Melanie D’Souza, LMHC with six years of experience helping adults work through depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I am also trained in EMDR, an evidenced-based approach that can help process and heal from past experiences that continue to affect the present.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Colorado, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont, and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals facing substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and major life transitions. My background includes work in outpatient, inpatient, IIC, detox, and private practice settings, serving as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and team leader. I work with both voluntary and court-ordered clients and bring a compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental approach that balances support with accountability.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I specialize in treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, using evidence-based approaches like motivational interviewing and individualized treatment planning. My experience includes facilitating group therapy and working with diverse adult populations in recovery. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered to make positive changes.
