Hello! My name is Melissa Maddox, I've been practicing in the mental health field, supporting both adolescents and adults in and around the Rockville area for the last 31 years. Therapy is my passion, and I'm grateful for the trust that every client gives to me when they allow me the chance to assist them in their journey towards positive growth and change. It's not just the trust they put into me, but also the trust they put into the process; a process that I know works. I see therapy as a collaborative effort between me and my clients, and I measure my success as a clinician by the success of my clients. I have a very laid-back style in both my therapeutic approach and my therapy environment. You can expect lots of humor, kindness, compassion, and empathy from me, as well as numerous candy jars, toys, games, and my dog Daisy sleeping through our sessions. I do offer both telehealth and in-person sessions, or a hybrid of both.

Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients.

Are you looking to improve your communication, strengthen your relationships, and manage conflict more effectively? Interpersonal skills are the foundation of healthy and thriving relationships—both personal and professional. If you are recovering from an emotionally abusive or narcissistic relationship and feel disconnected from yourself, therapy can also help you rebuild your identity, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and develop healthier relationship patterns. I am a relationship counselor, currently providing individual and group therapy for adults aged 18 and older. I specialize in helping clients improve their relationship with themselves through personal growth and the development of healthier interpersonal skills, including communication, conflict resolution, anger management, boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. Many individuals struggling in unhealthy, emotionally abusive, or narcissistic relationship dynamics often lose their sense of self, confidence, voice, and emotional balance within those relationships. A major focus of my work is helping clients reconnect with themselves, rebuild healthier patterns, and strengthen how they show up in relationships with others. How you relate to yourself impacts every relationship in your life. When you learn to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, manage emotions, and navigate challenges in healthier ways, your relationships often become stronger, more balanced, and more fulfilling. This growth can improve confidence, reduce stress, and support overall emotional wellness. I provide a supportive environment where clients can increase self-awareness, create meaningful change, and develop healthier connections with themselves and others. Schedule an appointment with me to begin your wellness journey.
