Getting to know Malissa Watters

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I value family time; have been married for 21 years; am a mother of three; and have two grandchildren. My approach is collaborative; compassionate; and goal-oriented. I view therapy as a partnership in which I provide a safe; respectful; and non-judgmental environment; while also offering guidance and constructive feedback to encourage growth. Clients can expect to gain increased self-awareness; practical coping strategies; and new perspectives that can be applied in daily life.
