Melissa Owens, LPC, LMHC

I provide therapy that will help you develop skills, face challenges, and build on your strengths to make life changes. This includes brief therapy to help you get unstuck and assertiveness training to help you listen and be heard, love and be loved. I can help you strengthen your communication skills, improve your connections with others, and strengthen your boundaries. I can help you free yourself from addictive and compulsive behaviors such as alcohol abuse, compulsive shopping, compulsive sexuality, emotional eating, obsessive self-doubt, and rumination. I can help you work through the difficulties of grief, abuse, loss, accidents, illness, and life transitions. I can help release you from unhealthy patterns of anxiety, anger, and depression, and heal you of the emotional reactivity that wounds those you love and destroys relationships. I have experience with Prolonged Exposure therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, and ego-state therapies that promote mindbody awareness using movement, breath, and visualization, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Jungian Active Imagination, and Kundaline Yoga therapy.

My fees are $150 per 55-minute hour for individual therapy and $200 per 75-minute session with couples or family. Payment is due at the time of service. I am not in any insurance network, but I will bill insurance for your reimbursement. I do pro bono work for Returning Veterans Project, but with few exceptions, I do not offer a sliding scale.
