Melissa Beaird, who goes by Missy, has been a therapist for over 35 years. She began her career working in the recovery field. She opened her private practice that lasted 22 years. She had a wonderful opportunity to work in a children's hospital to help patients and their families cope with chronic illness. She missed working in the private practice arena and has once again opened an office where she sees clients on Saturdays.
Missy works with teens, adults and families who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma and/ or betrayal in your relationships or just trying to make it through the day. Missy has created an environment where a client feels safe and comfortable. Her goal is to make each person feel safe, heard, understood and promote healing.
Starting a journey into therapy is one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself. Learn new ways to empower yourself and gain control over your life. Discover ways to reduce your distress and learn to live a life you deserve.
