Hi! I'm Melissa and excited to work with you! I love working with women who are in mid life and navigating all that comes our way. From Perimenopause/menopause, chronic health concerns, and relationships, I'm hear to support you.
I've been doing this work for over 20 years — not because it's a career, but because I genuinely believe that understanding yourself changes everything. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified hypnotherapist, and trained in neuropsychotherapy and mindfulness-based approaches. My focus is women and adolescent girls who are ready to go beyond symptom management and understand the deeper emotional patterns shaping their lives. I work with clients in Missouri via telehealth and see in-person clients in the Dexter area. I'm not a fit for everyone — I'm a fit for people who are ready to do real work.
I’m an affirming, open-minded therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, panic, stress, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and major life changes. I also support clients dealing with maternal mental health concerns, including the emotional weight that can come with pregnancy, postpartum changes, infertility, and adjusting to a new season of life.
Since earning my master’s in 2021, I have worked in mental health with both children and adults in settings including crisis care, which has deepened my understanding of how overwhelming life can feel when symptoms start affecting your relationships, confidence, and daily routine. My goal is to offer a space that feels warm, approachable, compassionate, and real.
I am a licensed professional counselor. I enjoy working with children as well as adults to help them achieve their goals.
I am deeply committed to helping individuals discover meaning and purpose in their lives. With more than four decades of experience as a counselor, I specialize in guiding clients through recovery from addictions, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.
As an Associate Professor in the Online Department of Community Care and Counseling within the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, I facilitate courses designed to help students and clients rediscover their zest for life and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.
In my private practice, I work extensively with couples, equipping them with practical tools and proven techniques to restore joy, strengthen relational intimacy, and build fulfilling, resilient relationships.
I live in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I remain actively engaged in my community. My areas of specialization include trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, child abuse recovery, and relational intimacy. I am also the author of Joy on the Same Page (2023), which outlines my Relational Intimacy approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Kansas City
Searching for ADHD therapists in Kansas City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function, time management, emotional regulation, organization, and CBT for ADHD, while psychiatrists may support medication management. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some work with both. If you need ADHD testing, an ADHD evaluation, or an ADHD diagnosis in Kansas City, look for a psychologist or psychiatrist whose profile lists assessment experience. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can involve different needs, so review each therapist’s listed specialties before booking.
Kansas City has a range of therapy options, and virtual appointments can add more flexibility if office location, traffic, or scheduling affects your search. When comparing ADHD therapists, consider whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and have experience with related concerns like anxiety or depression. Co-occurring concerns can shape the kind of support that feels useful. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, session style, and whether they work with adults, children, teens, or families.
Therapy in Kansas City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that process clearer before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see therapists who take your plan and view estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can compare ADHD therapists in Kansas City, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
