In Person Therapists in Wesley Chapel, FL

Seeking help can be intimidating, but you’ve made the first step! I encourage you to continue pursuing and getting the support you need in order to address your set of circumstances.

Thanks so much for taking the time to view my profile. If you are experiencing any of life's challenges please consider looking at my website at wiregrass-counseling.com I have worked with clients with various concerns from anxiety, depression to being addicted to drugs and alcohol. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to change with internal motivation and external guidance.

When you or your relationship are suffering, it can feel impossible to create lasting change. Throw stressors of big decisions, work, family or past/present trauma into the mix and it’s no wonder we feel lost at times. I want to join you right in the middle of your greatest struggle. In your time with me, you’ll find the empathetic guidance needed to process unheard pain and sort out misunderstood anger. Together we can transform damaging patterns within yourself or relationship into connection and confidence. We start where you are, doubts and questions included, and discover how your steps toward positive change will continue.

I have a 20+ year background in providing counseling and psychotherapeutic services to integrated behavioral health patients of all ages, from the chronically mentally ill, self-esteem problems, relationship problems, spirituality concerns, identity issues, those who suffer from terminal medical illnesses, in addition to those battling severe chemical dependency problems. I also have experience in providing therapy for inmates as well, and I'm currently attending medical courses to develop learning along the the biochemical spectrum of clinical disorders for future psychiatric practice.

I believe a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and validated is the epitome of a therapeutic relationship that promotes healing, self-worth, and positivity.

Would you like someone to talk to - completely without judgement or bias? To have a safe space for guidance? To gain a different perspective? Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is ideal for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be noted. Here, you are taking responsibility by accepting what you are experiencing and making a commitment to change something about it.

Noticing any patterns in your life that consistently don’t work out in your favor? Perfect! You’re on the right profile. I love helping clients release themselves from maladaptive patterns, thus freeing them to create a life more in alignment with who they truly are.

Let me compassionately hold space for all the unpacking and assist with all the tools for realigning with YOU!

Greetings! My name is Clarissa Melvin. I am excited and very blessed to serve God's people. In life, we all have struggles and oppositions. What do you do with the hurt, the pain, the struggle, the disappointment that you can’t let go of, and the negative thoughts that continue to plague you? Are you tired of facing it all alone? At times it is helpful to have someone to come along beside you to navigate these challenges. You owe it to yourself to connect with a therapist who will assist and be hopeful with you.

Let’s face it, life can be difficult. After all, life does not come with an owner’s manual and there is no contract signed between you and life. Success can be a burden, responsibility can be difficult and goals hard to achieve. So many obstacles, real and imagined can cloud our judgment. What do I do? Where do I belong? Am I happy doing what I do and where I am?

My personal style is to extend warmth, acceptance and care to all who enter my office. I’m not afraid of your tears or your anger and want you to know, you are in a judgement free space. My style is light and I help clients find humor when the situation calls for it, and know that laughter is incredibly healing. I will tell you the truth, as I see it, for the sole purpose to help you grow. The average client spends about six months to a year with me. Some clients require just a few visits to hit the reset or rebalance button.
