Getting to know Melissa Arrieta

Hi there, I'm Melissa! Welcome! I look forward to working with you to help you feel supported in a safe space where you feel heard and understood. My focus I enjoy working with young adults, new moms, and individuals navigating significant life transitions. I find deep meaning in supporting clients who are adjusting to new role, relationships, responsibilities or stages of life and are looking for a supportive space to better understand themselves, build confidence, and find balance. My approach I have a collaborative approach where we work together to identify goals for therapy. I hope to help you navigate life's challenges, build on your strengths and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My communication style I love having an open and honest communication. You should always feel supported but challenged when needed in a non-judgmental space. My journey to mental healthcare I was originally drawn to the medical field because I wanted to make an impact in other's lives. I quickly realized as fascinated I was with the medical field, I was more interested in the emotional piece and this drew me to the mental health field. I love learning about how relationships develop and impact us long-term. My goals for you We create treatment goals collaboratively. I like to explore your needs and strengths and utilize your passions to help you grow in the areas you need more support and guidance. Our first session Our first session is really just us getting to know each other and if we are the right fit for each other. Not every therapist will be the right one, so it is important you feel like you will be heard, understood and supported. I like to explore your needs and figure out if we can be a good team.
