Melissa Fulton
I'm a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience! I enjoy working with clients with religious trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and grief. I aim to work with my clients to figure out their own goals, whether it's to "break out of your shell" or handle whatever life throws at you. In the past I've had the pleasure of working with men and women thought various life experiences and transitions. I've completed multiple trainings in EMDR, adoption issues, DBT, and other trauma-based treatments and work toward utilizing an integrated approach. I also enjoy working with people who have experienced religious trauma.
First session
My goal is to make your first session with me as "easy" as possible and that you're able to move forward in your healing work. I'll probably ask you multiple questions about various issues related to your life and mental wellbeing. However, you are more than welcome to not answer a question I ask about your life! You are in the driver's seat for your therapy session!
Strengths
My goal is that you're comfortable during our first session and that you will feel that you are able to feel supported while processing whatever brings you into my office. And also, since this comes up with many people, you are "allowed" to cuss in session whenever you feel you need to...bonus points if you've got a cup of coffee or tea in your mug while you're at it! I try to keep my approach to clients as "Chill" as possible while helping you move forward in your life.
Ideal clients
I deeply enjoy working with many types of adults. As a preacher's kid I deeply enjoy working with people who have experienced existential issues related to religious trauma. I also enjoy working with people who have experienced traumatic events or are doing their best to "move on with life" whenever they experience anxiety, depression, life transitions, long-term stress, sudden life changes, and talking through life's big decisions.
