Hello! I’m Melissa Dotson, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master’s degree, dedicated to supporting individuals throughout Indiana. With over 14 years of experience in mental health and a background in emergency and critical care settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to my practice.


Since earning my license in 2016, I have specialized in mental health counseling, offering tailored support for adults aged 18 and older. My areas of expertise include addiction, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, grief and bereavement, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, medical issues and physical health, stress, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors, and perinatal support including pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum care.


In my practice, I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet your needs. This includes crisis assessment to provide immediate support during times of acute distress, individual therapy to address unique mental health needs, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help manage emotions and improve relationships. I also offer substance abuse education and relapse prevention, as well as substance abuse assessment and individual therapy to support those navigating the challenges of addiction.


My diverse background—from healthcare settings to specialized mental health care—ensures a deep understanding of various mental health issues. Whether you're seeking help for crisis management, substance abuse, or personal growth, I am here to offer empathetic, client-centered care tailored to your individual needs.


Outside of my professional life, I value staying connected with my community and continuously learning to provide the best care possible. I believe in the power of therapy to foster growth and healing, and I am committed to partnering with you on your journey towards mental wellness.


Feel free to reach out to explore how we can work together towards your mental wellness and goals. I look forward to partnering with you on your path to a healthier, more balanced life.
