Therapists in Washington

I am an individual therapist licensed in Washington State with ten years of experience in therapeutic interventions with clients presenting with a variety of different concerns. These include depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA-related concerns, relationship issues including in non-traditional relationships, and stress-related, motivation, and self-esteem challenges. I have also worked with people with trauma, addictions, parenting issues, and grief and loss. I also carry the credentials of Child Mental Health Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist. My style as a therapist is warm, genuine, honest, and casual, as well as interactive. I believe that you are the expert on your situation and come with the ability to overcome challenges, even if it may not feel that way right now. You are capable of making change, and I'm here to help. I believe everyone deserves to be heard with compassion and respect. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and solution-focused counseling. We will work together on your goals and needs and come up with a plan to get there. It's important to note that I only offer communication via text, including asynchronous, email-style messaging and live sessions, which are instant-messenger style communications in real time. I am thrilled that you've decided to reach out, and I can't wait to meet you, get to know you, and help you meet your goals.

Hi! My name is Melissa Clem. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7+ years of experience working with adults and children in Community Mental Health and as a Designated Crisis Responder (DCR). I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and a Master’s of Science in Professional Counseling.

My desire is to help you achieve your goals and overcome obstacles that prevent you from becoming the person you desire to be. I offer individualized treatment in a safe compassionate environment where you will be able to explore your hopes and dreams and make a plan to reach your goals to become the person you are meant to be.

I invite you to talk openly and freely about your spiritual beliefs and ask for prayer at any time. Thank you for choosing me as your therapist. I look forward to working with you!
