Getting to know Melissa Meyer
As a mental health counselor with a Master's in Counseling from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and strength-based approaches to support clients in fostering resilience and positive change. My practice is founded on the belief that everyone has innate strengths and the potential for growth, and I aim to help clients identify and utilize these resources.
I utilize CBT to assist clients in understanding the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering them to challenge harmful thought patterns and embrace healthier cognitive habits. My expertise in REBT further enables clients to reframe irrational beliefs that may affect their emotional well-being.
I adopt a strength-based perspective, focusing on clients' unique capabilities and fostering a collaborative environment for pursuing meaningful, value-driven goals. Additionally, I emphasize cultural competence to create an inclusive space that respects diverse backgrounds and addresses individual challenges.
My mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to transform their struggles into opportunities for growth. I am committed to ongoing professional development and ensuring the highest quality of care, helping clients leave our sessions with hope, clarity, and belief in their ability to enact positive change in their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As your mental health counselor, my priority is to create a safe and supportive environment for you. Here's what you can expect in our sessions:
Collaborative Approach: We will work together as partners, with you guiding our discussions based on your experiences and goals.

I'm honored to assist you in your pursuit of mental wellness and look forward to our first session. Thank you for trusting me with your journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical mental health counseling session is structured yet flexible, tailored to meet your individual needs. Sessions generally begin with a warm welcome and check-in to establish comfort. The agenda is collaboratively set, focusing on specific challenges, goals, or concerns.
The core of the session involves open dialogue, where you can share your thoughts and feelings, facilitated by open-ended questions to explore experiences and emotions. Depending on your needs, various techniques may be introduced, such as cognitive restructuring and mindfulness practices, along with a review of any homework.
Progress towards previously set goals is assessed, discussing any setbacks or necessary adjustments. Feedback is encouraged towards the end of the session, summarizing key insights gained. Future sessions are scheduled, and confidentiality is maintained throughout, fostering a safe space for you to express yourself. Each session varies based on your circumstances, aimed at helping you to gain insights and develop coping strategies for your mental health goals.
