Getting to know Melishia Phillips
Hi! My name is Melishia R. Phillips, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master of Education in Marriage and Family Therapy from Cambridge College. I am passionate about helping people grow, change, and live their best lives. I am devoted to empowering others and creating positive awareness within the mind, body, and soul. As a therapist, I strive to assist clients in finding inspiration, motivation, and revelation.
My approach
I utilize a "whatever it takes" approach to help clients attain their goals. We are in this together! I walk the journey with clients to find hope and healing. I provide a safe space for clients to be their authentic selves, free of judgment. I am empathic and compassionate while guiding clients through therapy. I have worked with individuals with various diagnoses, including children, teens, adults, couples, and groups, using multiple modalities. I utilize motivational interviewing, Play Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Modification for children, teens, and families, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, among others.
My focus
I work with children, teens, adults, individuals, couples, and groups. I guide clients to revelation, self-awareness, and acceptance. I help clients identify dysfunctional thought patterns and replace them with functional, true thoughts. I challenge clients where they are stuck and encourage new perspectives.
My communication style
As stated, I have a "whatever it takes" approach, which extends to my communication style, tone, and session environment. I meet clients where they are, join them, and journey with them. I present as energetic, confident, relaxed, assertive, polite, and respectful. Building rapport is one of my superpowers!
