“Willing to listen to me, open minded otherwise too early to tell she will be able to help me. There is still lots of tanks that need to be completed before I feel mentally well. The grief is so very fresh and feeling very guilty.”

Getting to know Melissa Decraene
Are you struggling with your work-life balance, family dynamics, parent-child relationships, or other personal connections? Are these conflicts causing overwhelming emotions and distress? Do you need healthier coping skills?
As a licensed professional therapist (LMFT) with over 12 years of experience and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from California State University, East Bay, I am dedicated to empowering clients to succeed while providing a supportive and safe space. By addressing anxiety and burnout in the workplace, school, home, and relationships, you can engage in activities and ideas that ground you in the present and guide you toward the future you desire.
I currently work with individual clients aged 18 and over and am not accepting couples at this time.
What should a new client know about working with you?
From the first session, I want you to feel heard and supported in a safe space. I want you to come away with tools you can start to use immediately, and as we progress, build on those tools and overcome what has brought you to therapy in the first place.

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.
