Getting to know Melissa Mott

I graduated from the USC School of Social Work & have been in case management for over 14 years and providing therapy for 8 years. I would like to acknowledge & welcome you for taking a bold first step toward your wellness journey. I have experience working with diverse populations including children, families, adolescents, elder individuals. My approach With everything going on in the world, it may seem like things can't get any better. The challenges, changes, & stressors faced may seem overwhelming. I am here to help you navigate through these in a safe space where you can learn to overcome, heal & grow. My focus I love working to help others find their strength and acknowledge their success no matter how small. We deserve to be our own best cheerleader and learn to take better care of "me." One cannot pour from an empty cup and we are all human. I encourage giving credit where it is due and the power of positive thinking. My communication style I am direct and empathic. I call it what it is and ask questions to gain a deeper understanding. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up watching my mom helping others as a social worker and after trying other career paths, I ended up going back to school to become a social worker to help others. My goals for you I work with individuals to identify areas they want to improve and create action steps towards meeting goals developed together. Client input is extremely important as this is for the client, not for me; I am just here to guide and support as needed. My first session with you I ask a lot of questions and listen as much as possible. I go over rules and expectations as well as lines of communication and how to reschedule or cancel a session. I don't want to get too deep into anything just yet as I want to build a working relationship based on trust and safety.
