Getting to know Melissa Bauer-Post

Hi there, I'm Melissa! Hello, my name is Melissa Bauer. I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska with a Master's in Counseling from Chadron State College. My approach to therapy is Client-Centered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I focus on areas such as Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and LGBTQ+ Issues. I am happy to meet you. My approach I use a Client-Centered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with most clients. You can expect a collaboration between the two of us as we work together to identify thought patterns that may be holding you back and replace them with strategies to help you feel more empowered. This approach is especially effective for managing symptoms of depression, PTSD, and anxiety, giving you tools to take into your everyday life. My focus I work with clients who are ready to embrace change and take positive steps forward. Together, we'll focus on setting goals to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and any other challenges you're facing. I also encourage clients to continue their progress between sessions by practicing coping skills or journaling, which can deepen our work together. My communication style The environment I create for sessions is built on rapport, confidentiality, truth, comfort, and humor when appropriate. I want you to feel as if we are in the same room having comfortable conversations that will continue your journey to change. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into mental healthcare began at an early age, as I learned the importance of support in mental health through personal family experiences. With this background, I'm passionate about being the kind of therapist who not only provides support but also actively works to break the stigma around mental health. My goal is to offer a safe space where you feel understood and empowered to make meaningful changes.
