Melissa Cammack
Hi! My name is Melissa. I'm a licensed professional councilor with ten years of experience and a strong clinical background formed through working with people from diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, and jobs. I've had quite a few jobs myself! I've worked as a teacher, in autism care, in accountability courts, and more besides. That said, my primary focus as a provider is in working with people who suffer from chronic illnesses. As someone with an autoimmune disease, I am especially passionate about it; I also specialize in working with those who are going through life transitions, struggling to managing anxiety disorders, and who need to process trauma.
First session
In our first session, I'll want to learn about you and your experiences. I'll ask a variety of questions so I can learn more about you and the challenges you're facing. I'll also ask you for therapy goals; together, we'll work toward them.
Strengths
First, I want to create a safe space for you. During therapy, I use a blend of evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as ACT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. As you begin processing and learn more about yourself, I'll encourage you to become empowered as you work toward your therapy goals.
Ideal clients
I approach therapy through a trauma-informed, holistic lens. I value creating a safe space for self-inquiry and self-awareness while offering relevant skills for you to explore. I'm also a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. If you have any interest, I'm happy to meet you on the mat!
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I believe ACT can be a powerful evidence-based tool which blends mindfulness and cognitive therapy.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful tool to help a person process thoughts and emotions while also creating self-awareness as to where the distress is located in their body.
Integrative
I enjoy integrating cognitive-based treatment methods with mindfulness and somatic therapy.
