My name is Melissa Rios. I am a licensed psychotherapist and addiction specialist with over 20 years of experience helping others. My approach is person-centered. I am trained in what's called a psychodynamic approach, but my work is highly integrative. The truth is that no one approach works best for all people or all problems. I may offer you a different perspective, I may challenge you in a supportive way, and I may suggest various coping strategies so that you can start to make the changes that you want. Therapy with me is empowering, collaborative, and non-judgmental.
Working in collaboration we can explore your current difficulties, personal beliefs, and values, find ways to help you cope, and uncover the connection between your past and present experiences. Sometimes I will challenge your thoughts if I think they are harming you. That said, you are the expert on your life.
My clients say I’m easy to talk to because I’m real with them. I am not the kind of therapist who sits silently in my chair. I am engaged. I listen and I reflect back. I will ask questions and offer interpretations. In our sessions, I make space for whatever you’re feeling. I'd be glad to hear from you!
