“Cannot recommend Melissa highly enough!
It took me about a decade to give therapy a try again. After I started CBT sessions with Melissa a few months ago, her approach quickly helped me realize how critical therapy was for me to effect work through certain personal challenges. She’s done that all while being completely disarming and personable. So grateful for her and her work!!”

“Melissa is very open and honest, and besides being very professional and helpful, she is also a very interesting person to talk to. After a session with her, I managed to talk with my husband about some things I was not able to talk for almost a year.”

Getting to know Melissa Byrd
I believe that everyone faces life changes, relationship struggles, substance abuse, and other mental health challenges, and sometimes finding effective ways to cope can be difficult. I strive to work collaboratively with individuals seeking help to understand these changes and develop personalized strategies for coping. Therapeutically, I approach my work from a humanistic, client-centered perspective. However, I recognize that there is no single method that works for everyone, so I prefer to collaborate with clients to find the approach that best suits their needs, making counseling a successful and meaningful experience. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support clients through diverse challenges.

Love Melissa! She is very empathetic regardless of the circumstances. I look forward to our talks as means to be emotionally vulnerable in a way that is not as easily excepted in my day-to-day. Her office is always a safe space and judgement free zone.

Melissa is the second counselor I've been to in the last few years. What I liked about Melissa is how she was able to make it our session conversational so quickly. It felt like I was talking to a friend openly, and knew that the advice I was receiving was unbiased.

First meeting so mostly sharing that baseline, but I felt Melissa was receptive, non-judgmental, and sometimes understood what I was trying to say better than I could word it. Even though it was just a first meeting supplied some actionable advice I can try to apply while working through things.
