What's My Approach to Therapy?
Hi! My name is Melissa, and I would love the chance to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey. As a therapist, I aim to be in your corner, providing a safe space where you can process, explore new perspectives, and feel supported. I firmly believe that while various factors shape who you are today—such as upbringing, cultural influences, and relationships—they don't have to dictate your future. During our sessions, we can work through your concerns together, focusing not only on what's weighing you down and causing pain but also on your aspirations and dreams for the future.
I adopt an integrative therapeutic approach because I recognize that each person is unique and requires a tailored treatment plan. I often work with individuals who appear strong to others but find it challenging to seek help, especially when grappling with issues like anxiety, recurring unhealthy relationships, and unresolved trauma. I've witnessed clients—whether individuals, couples, or families—experience transformation as they strike a balance between pursuing their dreams and supporting others, navigating life's challenges with newfound resilience.
Finding the right therapist is crucial and can be overwhelming, which is why I offer a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation. It's an opportunity to ease any apprehensions, discuss your goals, address any questions you may have, and determine if we're a good fit for your needs. Whether you're new to therapy or not, seeking help is a courageous step forward.
Remember, you don't have to face this journey alone. Reach out today for support!
