I am a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with over 12 years of experience and a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, self esteem issues, and substance addiction. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I truly enjoy helping people to figure out how to enjoy and live a healthier life.
My counseling style is warm and open. Making the decision to ask for help can be difficult, and I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic counseling. I want our discussion and treatment plan to meet your specific needs as an individual. I will always be back in touch with you within 24 hours, usually less, since I check messages several times a day. I love getting to know my clients on a personal level, and I believe a sense of humor and open mind are necessary for successful change to happen! I'm always open to questions, and I look forward to working together!

Melissa was a wonderful support system to me in my time of need. She was responsive to my needs and worked to make sure I wasn't so hard on myself - which was essential to me dealing with my issues.

Melissa is a great person to talk with. At first it was a little frustrating because I was going through so much that I just wanted her to give the answers(as you should do this type deal ) on how to fix My problems but then I realized I had to do things on my own. I highly recommend her.

Melissa is very easy to talk to. I also like how she makes you think for yourself and not just tells you what to do. She praises your progress and makes gentle suggestions when there is an area of growth. Love her!!

She's really awesome about getting to the important questions and how you feel about things, and it's really awesome that she's only a message away.
