Hello! My name is Melissa Sharp, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in treating individuals aged 6 through middle-aged adults who are navigating mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, ADHD, and life transitions.
Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.
I have been working in the mental health field for four years and have experience supporting clients ages 5–60. I graduated from Regent University in 2021 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I also integrate Christian principles into therapy sessions.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in prioritizing our mental health. My goal is make therapy feel approachable, empowering, and warm. I will meet you where you are on your life journey and collaborate with you on meeting your goals.
Are you BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ struggling with self-compassion and self-care? Are you struggling with the anxiety of navigating a society that feels like it's not made to support you? Whether it's systemic issues or unpredictable life changes, sometimes life can feel overwhelming and beyond our control. I provide a space for you to be your authentic self and receive unconditional positive regard through these challenges. Come as you are.
I love this work. It is such a privilege and a joy to walk with people through their lives, relationships, and experiences. It is a special thing to get to do and these days I am particularly focused on working with clients toward healing from trauma and past experiences while moving forward in their present life.
I have been licensed since 2015. I graduated from Capella University with my Master's from Gordon College with my Bachelor's.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience working with children, adults and families. I specialize in ADHD, Depression, Anxiety , life stressors, grief/loss and trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach
Finding the right therapist in Virginia Beach starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, or psychologist — who specializes in your area of concern. Virginia Beach is home to a large and diverse community, including military families and service members, so providers with relevant experience are available across the area.
With so many options in the Hampton Roads region, narrowing your search can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most: a provider's specialty, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and their availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit.
