Melissa DeHosson
I am an LCSW with 7 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with a wide range of populations from children to the elderly. I was drawn to the field of mental health after studying social work and desiring to make an impact in my community.
I will challenge the parts of you that keep you stuck while empowering you to be your greatest self.
Throughout my experience working in a domestic violence shelter, a community mental health center, an alternative therapeutic girls school, and a group therapy practice, I was able to develop a great sense of empathy and understanding about how the mind both hurts and heals and the importance of individualized and compassionate care. It is a great honor to witness my clients' growth and resilience as they embark on their healing journeys. I believe all people deserve to live a life of dignity, joy, and peace, achieved through prioritizing their mental wellbeing.
First session
During our intake, I will review the therapeutic process, discuss confidentiality and HIPPA, and begin working with you on a plan to improve your mental health. We will review your presenting concerns and talk about setting goals (and it's okay if you don't have any yet). You will have an opportunity to ask questions about therapy and share any feedback. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling lighter and with a renewed sense of hope, which is also how you will know you are making progress.
Strengths
I am honest and offer an authentic perspective and feedback when appropriate. I will challenge the parts of you that keep you stuck while empowering you to be your greatest self. I take great pride in this work and helping my clients thrive. If this style resonates with you, let's get connected and start the work.
Ideal clients
I work best with motivated clients who are seeking to better understand themselves. I am positioned to serve clients who have an interest in processing trauma or navigating new stressors or life transitions. I enjoy working with clients who have a mindset of wanting to free themselves from their stuck patterns or ways of thinking that just aren't working for them anymore.
