Melissa Doan

Hello, my name is Melissa Doan. I'm excited to work with you as you start the steps to healing and growing in your therapy journey.

I love working with adults who are engaged in exploring more about who they are and desire to work towards personal growth and change. Understand that therapy is a process and it takes time and effort to reflect on your own thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors to gain insight. I have worked with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, emotional disturbance, grief, infidelity, parenting, PTSD, trauma, and women's issues. I have also worked with couples' marital and premarital to improve communication. I feel that sessions should be client-directed and led. I offer a non-judgmental space to allow you to express yourself freely in a safe space.

I am committed to those I serve. I provide support for your goals, encouragement, and empowerment. I will support you as you process through your thoughts and emotions. I will be honest and open. I will …provide ideas of coping skills for you to manage your symptoms. I will be beside you as you explore the root of your concern. I work in an eclectic style to be flexible and integrate approaches to psychotherapy that incorporate techniques and principles from various therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to the specific needs of the individual client. Rather than adhering strictly to one theoretical framework I draw from a range of methodologies to provide the most effective intervention for each unique situation. this provides you with a client-centered, integrative, flexible, evidence-based, and holistic intersectionality style approach.

I am a mother and grandmother. I love nature and being outside watching birds and planting, something I have learned is my own form of therapy as I have gotten older. I have a direct personality and can talk about anything.
