About Melissa
License #: 88503I have worked in mental health for 10 years, and before starting my own practice, "Time to Heal Therapy, PLLC", I worked in many settings: inpatient/residential/php for eating disorders, school-based therapy, non-profit and medicaid facilities, and traditional outpatient therapy clinics. I'm a gentle and empathetic therapist, and I also give clients direct skills to help aid them in their healing journey.
My Therapeutic Approach
I use EMDR, DBT, CBT, ERP, and ACT techniques, to help in your healing journey. Together we will identify what a healed version of you looks like. My experience in a variety of settings has helped me best understand how to support you. I've worked in mental health for 10 years in hospitals, private practices, community agencies, and other outpatient settings. Healing is an ongoing journey-one we embark upon continuously throughout our lives. My goal is to equipt you with skills to help you trust yourself, feel safer in relationships, feel safer and confident in your own body, and process some of the hard things you may have been through. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!
Who I Help Best
My clients may find that they are struggling with trusting themselves or others in relationships, have difficulty feeling safe or confident in their own body, and/or some have past difficult/confusing/traumatic events that can make them feel stuck. I specialize in helping teens, adults, and families with Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, Trauma, Eating Disorders, Depression, Adjustments, Life Stressors, and Grief and Loss. I am a gentle and empathic listener, and also will provide direct skills to help you with these issues. I believe you're the expert of your life, and I have training and tools to help you achieve your goals.
What a First Session Is Like
In your first session, we’ll spend time getting to know you and your story. We’ll talk about your personal history, family background, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. This conversation moves at your pace — there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for, and I’ll gently guide the process as needed. The session is designed to feel comfortable and supportive. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say — just come as you are. By the end of the session, we’ll collaborate on a plan moving forward, including therapy frequency, treatment goals, and the approaches or techniques that may be most helpful for you.
