You don't have to have everything figured out to start. Many people who reach out are carrying grief, anxiety, depression, or the weight of trauma, and they just need somewhere safe to bring it. I'm Melissa, an LPCC with nearly 15 years of experience, including over a decade in inpatient psychiatric settings. That background taught me how resilient people really are. I work with adults navigating PTSD, women's issues, life difficulties, and more. I'd love to be part of your journey.
I'm originally from New York City I've had personal and professional relationships with all cultures I believe for a therapist to help a client he must use love
Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.
My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Columbus, Ohio. I feel passionately about helping people find relief and become more comfortable being authentic.
I earned a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati after working in Children's Protective Services and Juvenile Court facilities. I have years of experience helping children, youth and families connect and function in more healthy ways. I see adults and couples as well, and strive to facilitate healing of hearts and marriages.
I have personal and professional experience in foster parenting and adoption. One of my special areas of interest is the effects of nutrition and exercise on mental health. I have utilized Equine-assisted Psychotherapy for twenty years as a specialty.
I have served OH and MI areas for over 2 decades. Once specializing in children, now I enjoy working with preteens, teens, and adults who can participate more actively in their treatment. I started specializing in trauma in 2016 after I completed extensive training.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Cleveland
Finding postpartum therapists in Cleveland starts with looking for someone who has experience with perinatal mental health. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. You may also want a therapist who supports prenatal concerns if you are searching for a prenatal depression therapist near me or post natal therapist. As you review profiles, look for specialties related to postpartum support, women’s mental health specialists, perinatal care, or credentials like PMH-C, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health.
In Cleveland, a good fit may depend on both specialty and logistics. New parents may need flexible appointment times, simple scheduling, and care that accounts for infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. Virtual therapy can expand access when getting to an office is harder, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer a local office near your home, work, or regular route. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, postpartum experience, appointment availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.
Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on postpartum care and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
