Hello, I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Melissa Brady, and I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 11 years of counseling experience. I am passionate about supporting clients in prioritizing their mental health to foster a greater joy for everyday life. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including trauma, abuse and neglect, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues and adjustment to life changes.
My work in residential, child advocacy, school, and primary care settings has shaped my inclusive and relatable approach. My counseling style combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational, trauma-focused, and client-centered perspectives.
It is important to me that you feel welcomed, supported, and understood. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work together to tailor treatment to your unique strengths, needs, and areas of concern.
Thank you for your interest in working with me to build a happier and healthier life. I am so honored to be on this journey with you!
