At North Star, we believe that it is possible to find peace and be content even in difficult times. When we hold pain gently and allow ourselves to be vulnerable, our problems can pass with more ease and we can grow more authentically - we become wiser and more connected to ourselves and others. Strength isn't the absence of vulnerability or fear. Happiness isn't the absence of sadness. Safety isn't the absence of threat. Our peace can come from knowing how to be vulnerable, how to express sadness, how to navigate threat.

I tell all of my clients that the safe space of therapy is yours and I just work there. Even with virtual sessions, it is still your space and I just provide the tools. Hello, I am Melissa Ridge, LLPC, Trauma-Focused Mental Health Therapist. My passion is empowering clients to use their own strength and skills I teach them to heal and grow in their mental health. Therapy is not a cookie cutter concept; and not every therapist is a good fit for every client and that is okay. My specialties are trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse recovery, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, couples, adolescents and teens.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health needs. I have a special interest in treating trauma and loss as well as religious trauma and deconstruction. I am a relational therapist using an integrative approach, drawing on the strategies that best fit the person I am working with. Parts work, play therapy, sandtray and art therapy-informed techniques are mediums that I use in addition to traditional therapy techniques. Above all, the success of therapy depends on the relationship between client and therapist. I aim to cater to the individual needs of those I work with and what they respond to best.

The last few years have brought loss and uncertainty for many of us. If you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or just stuck, you're not alone. Sometimes people need extra support and a safe space to let it all out, process what’s happened, and reflect on unhelpful patterns. Maybe you’re a people-pleaser. Maybe you want to set boundaries and say “no.” Maybe you’re navigating a transition or relationship. Perhaps you tend to spiral. Maybe you just want to better understand yourself. If this sounds like you, I can help.

I chose the path of becoming a therapist because I strongly believe that everyone deserves to have a space where they feel truly heard, understood, and supported. Delving deeper into the realm of sex therapy, I hold the conviction that our sexuality lies at the very core of our identity, and it is essential for each individual to feel empowered and confident in this aspect of themselves. The journey of therapy is a challenging and deeply personal one for each person, which is why my primary focus as a clinician is to approach each client with empathy, understanding, and unwavering honesty.
