Hello, I am Melissa Loper I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi. I am also a National Certified Counselor with NBCC.

I have 14 years of experience in school counseling and 27 years of experience in the public school system in Mississippi. I have worked with adolescents for 27 years. I am looking to broaden my horizon and begin a new phase in my life with more one-on-one counseling. I have observed in the past 27 years, the need for counselors in everyone’s life. I have worked with students in anger management, depression, coping skills, anxiety, relationship issues and ADHD, as well as academic and career planning in the school setting. I am looking forward to working with different age groups to provide counseling services in these areas and possibly more. My therapy style is client-centered and cognitive behavioral. I use the RIASEC model, John Holland's career inventory model when providing academic/career counseling. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion.
