Melissa Wallace
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional). I work with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with issues such as trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, relationships, grief, and more. Finding the right therapist for you is important so please feel free to reach out today with any questions you may have. I would love to help you on this journey and look forward to speaking to you soon!
My go to methods and tools are various coping skill recommendations, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Strengths Based Therapy.
First session
During the first session, I will go through a list of questions to get to know you and learn more about what you have been experiencing. You are free to go into as much or as little detail as you want as it is based on your comfort level. This session is primarily information gathering but may start to delve into interventions/coping techniques depending on how much time we have once the initial questions have been answered.
Strengths
I focus on building a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with constructive input, an empathetic nature, and gentle approach so that people feel like they can open up and share the important details of their lives.
Ideal clients
If you are motivated to make positive changes, self-reflect, and listen to gentle feedback then we will work well together! You are the expert on your life - even if at times you don't feel like it. If you want to feel encouraged and gain insight on ways to reach your goals and/or work through the challenges you are facing, you've come to the right place.
