Melissa Copanic
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a mental health counselor LPCC. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression and life transitions. My approach combines warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies like CBT. Through the use of evidence- based strategies, we will be able to use a variety of performance skills ranging from mindset and motivation to improving focus and concentration, to developing confidence and mental toughness. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation, a two-sided dialogue with room for reflection, healing and growth.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about me compared to other therapists is my attention to detail, active listening skills and empathetic approach.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am best positioned to serve adults who are looking for help to navigate anxiety, depression, or any other type of life transitions they may be facing.
