Getting to know Melissa Buchanan

My therapeutic approach is person centered and goal oriented. My experience includes, but is not limited to, working with adolescents, families, couples and women's issues. I have helped those facing anxiety, depression and the grief associated with a host of life transitions. I identify treatment approaches based upon each person's individual needs. The treatment models typically used in my practice include, cognitive behavioral treatment, psycho-education, meditative practice, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. I enjoy helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, pro-longed grief, couples work, women's issues (infertility, postpartum anxiety and depression, divorce, infidelity, empty-nest," "gray area drinking)," and the stress associated with life transitions. We all experience times of trials and tribulations during different times of our lives.
