Melissa Bradley, LCMHC, LPC, LCASA I am a licensed mental health in both NC and SC. I am dedicated to assisting adults and teens to navigate anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, with blends of evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, DBT, CBT and person-centered techniques.

I am confident and comfortable discussing your personal spiritual beliefs and helping my clients to navigate through life's various challenges.

I am confident and comfortable discussing your personal spiritual beliefs and helping my clients to navigate through life's various challenges. I have a history of working in addictions counseling as well.

First session

In our initial session we will go over your paper work and establish goals for treatment. I will listen to your presenting concerns and we will get to know each other. I will work with you to customize your treatment plan and goals for treatment.

Strengths

I want you to feel validated, seen, safe and comfortable to share anything that comes up for you. I want you to know that there is nothing you can bring to the table that will cause you to be negatively judged. I want you to feel seen, free to laugh, cry, vent or express however you are feeling. I am an EMDR therapist but I frequently utilize DBT, CBT, and personal centered techniques.

Ideal clients

I work best with people who are ready to acknowledge that they want to grow and become a stronger, better version of themself. It takes a lot of courage to get to a place where we recognize our need for change. I want to see you work through what may be holding you back and become a more confident and successful version of yourself.

Treatment methods

Christian Counseling

I am a Christian with a confident view of theology and scripture and how our understanding of scripture and our relationship with God can deeply impact our mental health.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have had a lot of training in DBT and will work towards certification as soon as I complete EMDR certification.
