Therapy is about you: your goals, your hopes, and your needs. Clients come to therapy seeking empathic support but also concrete skills to improve their lives. I provide non-judgmental, thoughtful help for teens and adults managing depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms that disrupt their lives. Because healing happens through connection, I work to enable clients to connect with themselves and others in meaningful ways. Through a heart centered approach, I empower clients to harness their courage in facing past and present losses, traumas, and stressors so that they no longer feel trapped or controlled by their experiences.

My experience includes working with adolescents, young adults and adults in residential, community and outpatient programs.
Sometimes we know exactly what the change we want is, it seems right in arm's reach, yet, we find ourselves struggling and confused to bridge the gap. My goal is to assist you in identifying the life you want, finding the path, and supporting you while you place your feet on that path. Our emotional struggles, including mental health symptoms, can be very challenging to overcome alone. Let's work together to come up with ways to cope, and ways to excel.

I have spent many years working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families who have experienced trauma, dual diagnoses, depression, bipolar disorders, anxiety disorders, stress management, adjustment disorder, Autism, LGBTQ+/identity, parenting challenges and many more.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming and non-judgmental environment. I strongly believe it is important to meet a person where they are. I help my clients identify and use their strengths to manage struggles/ challenges. I offer a therapeutic approach that is honest and integrative. I want to enhance my client’s ability to reflect, heal, grow, and navigate their way through this crazy world. I do so by helping them build healthy coping skills, learn emotion regulation, find empowerment and more while going through their journey.

Prior to going into outpatient therapy, my experience included working with youth, adults, and families in inpatient settings and in schools.
Whether it be you, your child, or your family, life's challenges can be daunting when taken on alone. My goal is to make it so you don't feel alone, and to be helping hand as you navigate these problems. I am most passionate in helping clients define what a “life worth living” means for them. I have worked with individuals of all backgrounds and developmental stages in addressing past trauma, developing healthy relationships, and building communication skills. I am also committed to continually developing her awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic injustice interact to impact her clients.

There is much to be said of the idea that a therapist should be a “good fit.” If you don’t feel there is a connection to build on and lessons to be learned, there is no harm in stating that truth and moving on. I’ve worked with people for a few months and some for many years. It’s important to feel you are getting something from your therapy. Therapeutic relationships perform the best when both therapist and client are mutually invested in the work. I deeply appreciate clients who commit and face the sometimes-painful work of therapy, knowing they are working toward a better day, a better life.

Malissa's ideal client is one who is curious, open, and committed to trying interventions and techniques both in and out of sessions. The client is encouraged to look inward at times, explore past and present events that have shaped ideologies, beliefs, and protective barriers, and be willing to collaborate with her. The client's issues might range from anxiety and depression to challenges with dichotomous thoughts, identity confusion, academic/career exploration and transitions, spirituality conflicts, interpersonal challenges, women's issues, and premarital/marital coaching (including separation and divorce).

Can you imagine a life where your past no longer haunts you? What obstacles could you overcome? What could you achieve? But how do you get there? Since I began to practice psychotherapy in 2014, I've trained in many techniques. Nothing has proven more powerful at resolving internal blocks than EMDR integrated with IFS techniques. Over the years, I've refined my approach to treating PTSD, phobias, and childhood trauma and achieved certification from the highest accrediting body for EMDR therapists, EMDRIA. I want patients to 'graduate therapy' because they see symptom resolution, released from the shadows of their pasts.
