Getting to know Dr. Melissa Sheffield
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University's California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) in 2017. I have been practicing for seven years in settings such as the California Department of Corrections and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Central California Health Care System. My experience is primarily with adults who have severe mental illness or symptoms that disrupt their sense of wellness and act as barriers to their happiness.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
