Getting to know Melissa Byerley
Hello, I'm Melissa.
Are you looking for a therapist who understands the challenges of raising a family in today's fast-paced and stressful world? Do you find it difficult to feel comfortable talking to others about your real feelings because you don't want to be that vulnerable to anyone else?
I help individuals struggling with life balance and stress management. I have experience providing individual therapy to clients dealing with current life stressors rooted in past traumas. These past traumas can hold one back from moving forward in life and finding happiness.
I have worked with diverse client populations, including children and adolescents in the Department of Child Services system, individuals with developmental disabilities through behavior support, and inpatient children with dual diagnoses. As a single mother of two amazing children, I personally understand the stress of raising children, managing a household, and maintaining a career.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Indiana University, Purdue University, Indianapolis. I enjoy listening to others and helping them discover strengths they didn't know they had. Life can be tough at times, but having someone to talk through problems with can make difficult times easier.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our first session, we will complete an assessment to help me better understand where you are currently and where you would like to go. Based upon individualized needs, tools and strategies will be discussed to help you build on your strengths to work through problems as they arise. Each session will begin with an overall review of your week then explore in more depth the challenges and accomplishments throughout the week. Each session will leave you feeling more calm and self-assured that you can make it through difficulties in your life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She is really good at listening, I truly feel heard. She gives me feedback on why I might feel the way I feel. Then I can use that to recognize my feelings and why I feel them once she has pointed them out to me and I can change the negative behaviors or the behaviors that come from a place of anxiety rather than a place of reason. She also gives good advice and makes me feel like there is nothing wrong with me. She feels like a friend. We have bonded over similar hobbies and places in the town we both live next to. She helps me mentally and emotionally. she doesn't get upset if we talk about the same topic for weeks on end. And she is very empathetic when I am emotional. I can truly tell her any of my biggest fears or deepest secrets and feel safe and not judged at all. Things I have never admitted or told anyone else for fear of not being understood.
I have recommended her to anyone who mentioned wanting to try therapy because I think she is super amazing. I got lucky when I got paired with her as my first therapist on my journey to self growth.
