Melissa Buckley, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
Greetings! I'm Mel B, a millennial female who proudly juggles various roles: devoted wife, an adoring cat mom, a licensed therapist and self-care advocate, a lover of iced coffee, and a total Swiftie. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University, which laid the foundation for my passion and expertise in mental health. My core mission is to uplift and empower female millennials to embrace and live lives that reflect their deepest desires and values. Having overcome workplace burnout myself, workplace wellness balanced with a healthy home life has become one of my biggest therapeutic passions. I find infinite value in purposeful self-care, boundaries, and giving ourselves grace. So, how do I support my clients in accomplishing these things? I first focus on the quality of our relationship; I vibe particularly well with women who are loud, boisterous, humorous, and unapologetically themselves. Then, we address concerns like work/career stress and decisions, self-care, stress management, relationships, goals and dreams, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and values. One of the things I value most as a therapist is being honest and authentic with my clients. That being said, you’re invited to do the same! I always encourage my clients to show up to each session as their genuine and authentic selves. No fluff. No bullshit. Let’s just be ourselves, get work done, and have some fun along the way! Join me on this empowering journey toward mental wellness where each session is crafted with care just for you.
