“I had my first session with Mel today and was immediately impressed by her depth of knowledge and the thoughtful way she approached our conversation. She's a truly exceptional listener who made me feel comfortable and understood from the start. I left the session feeling hopeful and supported, and I'm genuinely excited about the work we'll do together.”

“I am new to seeing Mel but in two sessions I already feel more supported and set up for the future work we are going to do. They are so knowledgeable and create such a safe place to dig into stuff. Being a queer NB person it’s not always the easiest to find a therapist I resonate and trust. I’m very excited for future appointments.”

Getting to know Melissa Mitchell
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Master's from the University of Pennsylvania and have been practicing for 7 years. As a therapist, I strive to foster a shame-free therapeutic space that is LGBTQIA+ affirming and trauma-informed. For folks struggling with eating disorders, I am dedicated to promoting a Health at Every Size mindset within an All Foods Fit context, encouraging an environment where you can begin radically challenging diet culture and weight bias. I hope that, no matter what brings you to therapy, I can help you foster self-compassion and develop coping skills that build confidence and resilience.

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.
