I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work. I have worked as a therapist in a multitude of settings, including hospitals, school districts, Juvenile Justice, group practices and private practice. I have worked with clients of all ages, backgrounds and diagnoses. I have performed varying clinical roles including, Clinical Director of a Group Psychology Practice, Individual, Family and GroupTherapist , Children’s Hospital Individual and Family Therapist and Contracted School Based Therapist.
I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.
I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.
With over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life’s challenges, I know how difficult the decision to seek help can often be. I have helped clients with issues from day-to-day stressors to the complexities of serious mental illness and addiction. I work with clients 13+ with a wide variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, and compulsive behavior, among others.
I specialize in working with Christians who desire to integrate their faith into their treatment. This brings the best in evidence-based practice in line with the essential role of faith in their lives.
Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, coping with the effects of trauma, navigating grief, struggling in relationships, adjusting to a life transition, or facing parenting challenges, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify your strengths, develop practical tools for managing challenges, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
I specialize in helping adults struggling with binge eating, emotional eating, chronic dieting, body image concerns, and anorexia or bulimia. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and focused on helping clients build a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. If you are tired of living with your eating disorder, let's work together to hand over the eviction notice!
Something feels off, and no matter what you try, you can't shake it. Maybe anxiety has become background noise, following you through meetings and quiet moments. Maybe you're still carrying something heavy, whether that's
depression, grief, or trauma that's never fully settled. Or life has shifted in an unexpected direction, a relationship strained, a season of infertility, a loss you're still carrying. I'm Melissa, an LCSW with experience in community
mental health, schools, and hospital settings since 2013. I work with children, teens, adults, and families across Pennsylvania. Therapy with me is practical, honest, and always at your pace.
I am committed to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey through change and encouraging self-acceptance when needed. We will work together to help you examine the way past experiences shape current behaviors, learn how to stop self-destructive patterns, and help you find your self-compassion while turning your vision for your life into your reality.
