What's My Approach to Therapy?
Hello, I'm Melissa Balent, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor. My therapeutic process centers on expressing the authentic self and supporting your growth in meaningful areas that are important to your life goals. I specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem, work stress, veteran issues, and recovery from substance use.
My Practice & Services
As a therapist, I would describe myself as open, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and accepting. I am collaborative and engaging in sessions, with active empathetic listening, thoughtful questions, and reflections to support growth and insight while building adaptive coping skills. I walk alongside you and work at your pace and am supportive of your values.
