Getting to know Melissa Parr

I'm Melissa Parr, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. I am passionate about helping others gain understanding and insight about themselves and how to manage their internal worlds, especially during times of anxiety or transition. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, viewing the client-therapist relationship as a vital means for change. I use a variety of techniques and approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Attachment Theory. I typically work with clients who are striving to develop insight and skills to manage anxiety or stress during challenging times. I enjoy supporting those who seek to better understand themselves, make meaningful changes in their lives, and are willing to explore their internal worlds to positively influence their outer experiences. I am a little goofy at times but also warm, accepting, and respectful of the often difficult change process.
