A note from Melissa
Hi! I'm Melissa, and I prefer messaging/chat sessions. I became a licensed professional counselor because I am passionate about helping others live full and happy lives. I believe that life is about relationships, so my goal is to help you strengthen your relationship with yourself and others. I will endeavor to help you improve your life by empowering you with resources to deal with your life issues. I have experience working with clients of all ages and feel I'm best equipped to help women and senior adults. I only have opening for chat/messaging sessions on Thursday and Friday.
