Melissa Gallup, LCSW
I do live sessions 12p-11p Sun, Wed, Thurs and reply to messages between sessions. I'm flexible and easy going. I try to be my authentic self in all areas of my life. I've been working in Social Work since 2007. I've worked in many settings and many cultures. I've learned that our therapeutic relationship is most important and is built by having many conversations about whatever is on your mind. This is how we can work together to find ways to progress in your personal goals. I also believe the science behind mindfulness-based stress reduction, and I typically use that as a starting point in therapy.

Shakirah Forde, LCSW
I’m a licensed therapist with over 13 years of experience, and my passion is helping people reconnect with themselves in ways that feel authentic and purposeful. I believe many of us get caught up in what we “should” be doing and lose touch with who we truly are. In our work together, I create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your inner world, release old patterns, and realign with what matters most to you. My approach blends practical tools with deep reflection, so you can find clarity, cultivate peace, and move forward with a stronger sense of self and direction.
