Getting to know Melissa Hartley

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience serving diverse populations throughout Western Washington after beginning my career in Cambridge, Massachusetts. My practice is grounded in a lifelong commitment to equity, inclusion, and transparency. I specialize in strengths-based, empathetic counseling that honors each client’s individuality, lived experience, and personal goals. Guided by both professional expertise and personal experience, I help clients explore and dismantle internalized biases while deepening their understanding of barriers, both internal and systemic. I am committed to creating a safe, informed, and affirming space for healing and growth. I approach each interaction with sincerity, humility, deep respect, and optimism. My approach My goal is to be there for you, to listen deeply, reflect honestly, and help you uncover insights that empower you to move forward. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a steady presence to our work, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. I do not use a formula to understand you, but meet you where you are, listening, and seeking a deeper understanding. I inform my therapeutic work with evidence-based practices. These practices and tools are psychoeducational, strength-based, client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and equity-based. My focus I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to sort through the chaos. Together, we can sort through the issues that brought you here, whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, divorce, parenting, identity, sexuality, health issues, or work. My work with individuals, couples, and families is informed by decades of work serving clients in our community. I have worked in many therapeutic roles, including with those in crisis, struggling with work dynamics, parenting, infertility, adoption, marriage, divorce, aging, and living with life-altering and terminal illness.
