“I have seen a number of councilors and therapist over the years, with varying results. Melanie has ben the first therapist to help me really work on my issues, and she has helped me make great strides with my mental health. She was also the first therapist that let me feel heard, and helped me to face trauma in a way that I can face things again. I am very thankful for her and the staffs effort and work to help me. I struggle with more serious issues, but now I have tools that she taught me to help me cope and work through things. Melanie has helped me with my issues that come from being on spectrum, and has helped me greatly with my CPTSD.”

Getting to know Melanie McCummiskey
*Note that prior to the first session with the provider, LifeStance will require a credit card on file.
*LifeStance providers do not accept Medicare or Medicaid insurance. If booking with these, you will be unable to be seen.
I have a passion for working with those who are dealing with high levels of anxiety and individuals with complex forms of PTSD who experience severe symptoms. I also work with people experiencing mood and personality disorders, as well as couples. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Capella University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective, compassionate care.
