Melissa Wilson
I have been a social worker and therapist for 14 years which has provided me the opportunity to work with many people that come with a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. Much of my work has been with individuals and families facing extreme challenges that come from serious illness and supporting ways in which our physical, emotional, and mental health are interconnected. I’m experienced in working with people who are living with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, substance use, serious illness and relationship/family dynamic issues. If you decide that we may be a good fit, you can expect to find a therapist who is empathic, respectful, and nonjudgmental. I will always be honest with you and will challenge you when needed. I am here to help guide you through life’s stressors and assist you in meeting goals based on your values and what is most meaningful. My ultimate goal is to create a safe, open space for you to explore your concerns and learn new strategies to cope with and heal from the difficulties you have been experiencing.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience using a variety of evidence based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy which is an eye movement therapy) . An individualized and holistic approach to care is highly effective in supporting emotional health and growth, and I will work alongside you to find what works best.
