Hello, I'm Melissa. Life can be hard, and my approach to therapy is to share with you a safe, non-judgmental space where we can build a strong therapeutic relationship. Together, we can explore the challenges you face and develop ways to make changes and choices in your life, making it easier.

I use a mix of evidence-based practices and approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM). Through our collaborative work, I will support you in addressing harm, developing coping strategies, and facilitating healing. My goal is to empower you to understand your feelings and behaviors so you can make positive and lasting changes.

My primary treatment model starts with DBT. With over 20 years of training and experience in this skill-based model, I focus on providing you with skills for managing intense emotions and negotiating social relationships. DBT's strong educational component aims to reduce your suffering so you can live the life you desire.

Many people use defense responses created to avoid painful unconscious material from early childhood and/or other traumatic experiences. Having a strong base of skills will help allow for deeper healing and potentially inner child work, resulting in long-lasting healing and changes, breaking the cycle of generational trauma. Therapy provides the support and structure to facilitate your ability to make positive changes.

I specialize in working with clients who have complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder. My experience has taught me that it is important to honor the unique aspects of each relationship. Therefore, I am happy to answer any questions about my practice prior to you committing to therapy.

Outside of my professional life, I value staying connected with my community and sharing insights through social media. You can find me on Facebook @therapyandtreatment. I look forward to the possibility of working together and supporting you on your journey to healing.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
