Getting to know Dr. Melissa London

Do you feel like every day you are just trying to survive? You're not truly present or able to enjoy life? You have intense worry, self-doubt, and struggle with your confidence? My approach to therapy focuses on empowerment to overcome these issues and to move from simply surviving towards thriving. Let’s find the light and stay in it. I aim to support you on your healing journey by creating an environment where your autonomy is valued and you feel both respected and understood. I have expertise working with individuals with a history of trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and identity-based stress. I earned my PhD in Psychology from Northern Illinois University and completed my internship and residency in Psychology at the Palo Alto and San Francisco VA Medical Centers, respectively.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is direct, collaborative, compassionate, liberation-focused, and supported by research. I prefer evidence-based practice and empirically supported treatments. My clinical work primarily draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, values-based, and mindfulness-based approaches. I strive to incorporate values of advocacy, authenticity, balance, empowerment, inclusion, liberation, practicality, resilience, and uniqueness in all of my services. I know how hard it is to take the first step and would be honored to provide some relief and help on your healing journey.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Treatment with me is collaborative and transparent. I take a curious and compassionate stance that is flexible and trauma-informed. I'm a New Yorker so I'm direct and my current Bay Area environment helps me take an intersectional approach. I remain flexible and humble to make changes throughout the course of our journey together.
