NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
I specialize in female-identifying clients, and my clinical approach is designed to help Black women navigate mental health through a lens that actually fits their lives.
I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) because it recognizes what I already know to be true: you're not broken. You have parts of you that have been working overtime to protect you, parts that carry pain, and parts that hold your wisdom. IFS gives us a language to meet all of those parts with compassion.
Most of psychology comes from westernized thinking and theories by white men. That doesn't honor the complexity of Black women's experiences. So I see the person first, and together we come up with goals that make sense for your life and your healing.
My number one goal? To give you a safe place to own it—all of it. When you own your healing journey, you show up authentically everywhere else. And that's the part of therapy I LOVE.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
Populations Currently working with:
Adults
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of experience helping clients facing a variety of challenges. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety and panic disorder, adjustment disorder, parenting concerns, couples therapy, and adoption-related concerns involving birth parents, adoptive parents, and adult adoptees. I also have experience with transracial adoption and incorporating faith into therapy sessions. In addition my areas of expertise are Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Adoption related concerns, Adjustment Disorder, and building communication skills.
When I'm not counseling clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, crafting, and learning more about the field (psychology). Continuing education and staying up to date on the latest research and techniques is important to me to provide the most effective care possible for you.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
My overall goal when working with people is for them to come to a place of understanding & acceptance with decisions already made, and yet to be made. I make it my goal to provide individuals the tools needed for self-empowerment and improved patterns of living and thinking via humor, honest observation, and respect. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Based Therapy.
Melissa currently only available through Telehealth for therapy.
