Co-creating a Supportive Space for Meaningful Change Within + Out

Many of us carry our past experiences and stress without realizing it— to the point where we feel it not only emotionally, but also in our physical bodies. Research confirms the mind and body aren’t so separate after all, but more of an interdependent unit greatly influencing one another. This is why we take a collaborative, integrative, experiential approach in our work together.

Past traumas, stress, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, chronic illness, difficult life transition, caught in the cycles of shame + self criticism; these are all labels and struggles many of us identify with at some point, but they don't define us.

 
 
 

meet Melissa

Hi! I’m so glad your own curiosity and courage led you here. I’m Melissa (she/her/hers) and I’m a psychotherapist (LCSW) and trauma-informed yoga teacher (RYT) who holds a profound appreciation for the human condition and belief in our inherent resilience. I'm super passionate about what I do and I love encouraging and supporting others on their own journey of self-discovery and healing. At the same time, I truly believe our shared humanity serves as a life raft and it's in this space of being witnessed in our messy, imperfect, but whole selves, healing can happen. Because I take the time to get to know my clients, it only makes sense that you get to know a little about me and what I can offer you, too.

 

My Approach

Considering therapy, whether it’s for the first time or just with a new practitioner, can feel intimidating. My goal is to make it feel approachable, natural, and even exciting. You are the expert on you. Utilizing both body and cognitive based approaches (to address the whole), but with an emphasis on the somatic, I work with you as a collaborative guide to co-create an experience where no matter who you are or what you have gone through, you are invited to (re)discover self-trust, confidence, belief in your wholeness and own embodied wisdom. Licensed in both NC + NY, I currently offer virtual sessions or the option of in person for those located in Asheville, NC.

 
 

Humans are wired for connection, meaning we aren’t meant to do any of this alone. Asking for support is one of the bravest, most rewarding things you can do for yourself.

As someone who strives to deeply understand and is fascinated by the how and why, a gatherer of knowledge, I have found that this insatiable curiosity is both a strength and a barrier— a strength in that it sustains my drive, it allows me to st
Ever wonder why there is so much emphasis on compassion, especially self-compassion? This is a wordier one so save and come back to it as necessary or needed! One of the things that I find *foundational* to my work with others (and myself) is self-c
Buckle up, Patricia! We’re going healing!!! 🤪 But for real, we got you. I tend to think of the therapeutic relationship and process as a collaborative one— where the client is in the driver seat and the therapist is more than just a pas
