Melissa Jones (She/Her)

Embarking on a therapy journey can feel both hopeful and uncertain, and I strive to make the process welcoming, collaborative, and supportive from the very beginning. My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based treatments, ensuring that the techniques we use are effective and research-supported. Equally important is the relationship we build together—one that is grounded in trust, respect, and openness. This relational approach serves as a foundation for our work, making therapy a safe space to explore challenges and foster growth. In our initial sessions, I’ll work to understand your unique experiences, concerns, and goals. Together, we’ll discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s relief from distressing symptoms, insight into personal patterns, improved relationships, or a deeper sense of well-being. I believe in setting a collaborative direction from the start, making space for your insights, strengths, and preferences. My experience with hundreds of clients has shown that when we work together with shared goals, the outcomes can be life-enriching: enhanced relationships, effective problem-solving skills, greater self-awareness, and significant relief from distress. You can expect therapy to be a place where you gain practical tools for managing challenges and feel supported in achieving the meaningful changes you envision. Generally, therapy is once a week or every other week, however frequency and total number of sessions are things we can discuss, based on your needs, goals, and circumstances.
