Therapists in Parker, CO

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience as a hospice grief counselor with my own private practice. My past work also includes being a librarian, professor, and oncology counselor. I definitely know what it is like to be in transition, both professionally and personally! I have certification in trauma and in tele mental health as well. In the past I have been a poetry therapist (someone who uses language as a healing modality). I support folks who are moving through any major life transition, whether it be job loss, divorce, aging, terminal illness, or family issues. My counseling style is warm and supportive. I want to be a companion with you in your process, helping you identify your own goals and strengths. I believe all of us have some natural resilience and the ability to grow and to reinvent ourselves, given the right resources and support. My experience has been that grief and loss are major issues in our life and that we can develop coping skills to successfully move forward. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and interpersonal counseling. I will work on finding the right approach for you in order to meet your needs. I look forward to hearing your story and beginning work with you!

Hello, my name is Melissa and I am an MSW and LCSW, with more than 15 years in the mental health field. I graduated with honors in 2005 from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. In 2009, I obtained a master's degree in social work from Indiana-Purdue University. I received my clinical social work license from the state of Indiana in 2011 and then from the state of Colorado in 2015 after I traded in cornfields for mountains. Over the last 15 years I've been lucky enough to work with a lot of different populations in many different settings. I sort of feel like I've done it all, like if the mental health field was a menu I've ordered almost everything on it. I hope that means that I bring many years of well-rounded experience to the table. A famous author once said, “The most important things are the hardest to say… because words diminish them. Words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out.” That’s why I’m so glad you’re here. Therapy and talking to someone about your fears and anxieties and other things you’re going through can be really helpful. Those thoughts and feelings that seem really overwhelming? You may realize they are actually pretty tiny when we bring them into the light and take an honest look. Or maybe they’re not. Maybe they’re as big as you thought they might be. And, we can do something about those, too. My therapy style is a relaxed mix of CBT (thinking about thinking), DBT, solution-focused, and motivational dialogue. But, maybe the most important thing to know up front is that therapy and therapists are not a ‘one size fits all’. If we talk and you decide I’m not quite what you need, that is absolutely okay because you are the most important part of this process. You are the driver. This is your time to get to know yourself better in a safe and confidential space so that you can live a life that feels like it’s really yours. I’m really glad you’re here.

My education includes a Master of Divinity in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio and an undergraduate degree from Indiana University.

I have over 10 years experience working with people suffering from mood disorders (e.g. anxiety and depression), grief, and issues stemming from trauma, abuse, neglect, poor communication, etc. My professional skills and training rest on a solid foundation of life experience and a close walk with Jesus. My mission is to provide an open, nonjudgmental environment where you can receive encouragement, support, and practical tools to live a fuller, more joyful life in healthy relationship with God and others. I'm a native of downstate Illinois. I am a single mother and grandmother with two married adult children and two granddaughters. I love walking in nature, gardening, art, sewing and raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chips.
