Getting to know Dr. Melissa Stolsig
In the past decade, I've worked with clients who are so vastly different, yet in their humanity, so alike. From narcotic treatment facilities, assisted living communities, and community mental health centers, the struggle with addiction or a history of traumatic experiences reveals a common thread: human suffering and one's incredible capacity for healing and growth. I truly believe that people already have everything they need to grow and heal, and the therapeutic relationship is simply the space we create where one can find their strengths.
My ideal client is willing to engage in therapy to heal, grow, or simply feel better. I am able to work with a variety of people from different populations due to my non-judgmental stance and curiosity about others. I am adept at working with individuals who experience multiple problems simultaneously because of my willingness to collaborate with other providers. I am trauma-informed and culturally sensitive.
I use an Existential-Humanistic perspective blended with an understanding of each individual's unique character defenses to focus on emotions in the moment. I draw from many intervention modalities to tailor an evidence-based and individualized experience of human connectedness grounded in compassion. I am an EMDR-trained therapist.
I work with clients 18 years and older individually or in groups. Special populations I treat include LGBTQIA+, BIPOC individuals experiencing racial trauma, intergenerational trauma or both, men, perinatal/postnatal support, survivors of trauma, older adults (60+), active military, veterans, and their adult family members.
I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, which has further equipped me to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.

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.
