My name is Melissa Lewis, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Community Counseling. My expertise spans several therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), grief counseling, sexual health and wellness counseling, financial wellness counseling, and Positive Strengths-Based counseling. In addition to my counseling services, I have extensive experience in life coaching, transformation coaching, and career coaching.
I have an integrative approach, so I am open to meet clients where they are. I work heavily in grounding techniques, goal setting with a focus on actionable steps, and I believe in fostering self-awareness with my clients to help them engage in self-discovery and transformation. Additionally, clients who are open to integrating spirituality and intuitive guidance in their healing journey would find a unique and supportive partnership in me, as my approach naturally blends empathy, intuition, wisdom, and practical strategies tailored to the client's needs.
My true passion lies in holistic and traditional therapies, along with career and visual acuity. I specialize in mindfulness practices, Neuro-change methodology, meditation, spirituality, hypnosis, sound therapy, and chakra balancing, providing a well-rounded approach to healing and personal growth. I am committed to creating transformative experiences and guiding individuals toward achieving lasting, positive change in their lives. My motto is "Choose to Live and Enjoy Life".
I use this approach because it focuses on exploring the fundamental questions of existence, like helping clients understand the meaning of life, choices, freedom and responsibility. I encourage self reflection, understanding mortality and working with grief , as well as understanding death and fostering a deper connection with others.
I work with clients using CBT to help change negative thought patters and behaviors to more positive ones, especially if the client desires to talk negative about themselves and their situation. I also use this modality to help determine and clarify their goals so that they can have purpose and flow as well as meaning in their lives. I also use it to teach practical skills to clients like, proper problem solving, stress management and relaxation techniques which include grounding and mindfulness.
