Getting to know Melissa Charfadi
The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC00899000.
Hello! I'm so glad you're here. Taking the first step to find a therapist who truly understands your journey can be challenging, and I deeply respect your courage in seeking support. I'm a queer therapist dedicated to creating a supportive and affirming space where you can feel seen, validated, and empowered.
My career has been shaped by a passion for community mental health. I've had the privilege of working with a wonderfully diverse range of individuals, developing and managing programs that prioritize individual well-being. This experience has given me extensive expertise in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, sexual identity issues, life transitions, burnout, stress management, personality and mood disorders, psychosis, and trauma histories. I also have a strong background in research related to psychosis and extensive experience working with acute populations. I want you to know that I'm comfortable and experienced in addressing what some might consider "harder" or more complex issues.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe that therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" endeavor. Instead, I use a client-centered, strength-based approach, combining various therapeutic techniques to meet your unique needs. Our work together will begin by building a strong therapeutic relationship, creating a foundation of trust and safety for your growth. My approach incorporates modalities such as somatic therapy, solution-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I don't believe you need to change who you are; rather, my goal is to help you make the coping skills you've developed throughout your life work effectively for you again. As a child of immigrants, I also understand the profound importance of incorporating your cultural background into our sessions, honoring your unique identity and experiences. I like to remind people I'm a human, and I think laughter and humor are so important in our journey together.
I am actively involved in community and advocacy, and I've dedicated my life to ensuring that everyone feels validated and affirmed in their existence. I am currently the sitting co-chair of the board for a local non-profit that works with Queer-led families. I created Radiant Transformations to serve an often underserved community. While many providers are LGBTQIA+ affirming, I've found that many individuals prefer a therapist who identifies within the community and has had some shared experiences. I hope to provide that safe space and assist people in the community in being their most authentically beaming self. My current focus areas include supporting QTPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color) individuals, working with Borderline Personality Disorder, and addressing anxiety disorders and attachment work. I am also a proud WPATH member and have successfully written many letters of support for gender-affirming surgeries.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
I am in-network with multiple commercial insurance plans, however I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients and help with reimbursement. Please reach out with any questions, I am happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.
