Melissa Harman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have been practicing therapy since 2013. I have worked with teens and their families as the lead clinician in outpatient settings. I am currently focused on supporting clients in addressing concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting problems, anger management, stress, substance abuse, attachment and complex trauma. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe each client is the expert in their own life and I seek to assist clients in finding the best solutions for their concerns. I am straightforward and believe change can be scary and difficult and I am here to confront the issues contributing to the difficulties you are facing. My approach primarily combines cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, solution focused, and behavioral modification counseling. I believe each client and each situation is unique and therefore I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am so proud of you for taking this step to enrich and empower yourself to meet your goals in life. I genuinely hope I can help you along this path to success and I believe you can accomplish anything you set your mind to doing.

Please also note that while I am clinically licensed to practice therapy in the state of New Mexico, I do offer Life Coaching outside of New Mexico as well. If you or someone you know is need of services elsewhere, I am happy to offer Life Coaching via videohealth wherever you may be. Finally, I am a licensed Supervisor in Social Work for the State of New Mexico and can offer supervision for anyone seeking their independent license in the mental health field.
