Getting to know Melissa Coello

Looking for relief from everyday stresses or looking to process some significantly distressing events that you have experienced? I would love to help you overcome the barriers that have made it difficult for you to have a fulfilling life with meaning and purpose. My approach My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I help clients develop practical coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and move toward lives that feel more aligned with what matters most to them. My focus I have a special interest in supporting parents and caregivers, individuals adjusting to new roles or seasons of life, and those experiencing anxiety, burnout, or relational stress. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace. My communication style I aim to be warm and caring while staying clear and honest. My work is centered on what you want from therapy, offering support alongside direct feedback when helpful. I welcome client feedback if you feel misunderstood, as open and honest communication is key to a healthy therapeutic relationship. My journey to mental healthcare I came to this work through my own challenging life experiences and time in therapy. I saw how powerful it can be to feel supported by someone with both clinical knowledge and genuine compassion. That experience continues to guide how I show up for my clients My goals for you It is important that clients leave therapy a better version of themselves. After getting to know your start, I will help you learn the importance of setting goals and working towards values that you identify. Once those goals are set, we will build skills that will help you get closer to those goals.
