Getting to know Melissa Tirado
Hi there, Melissa.
Do you feel overwhelmed with the day-to-day challenges of life and have a hard time coping and managing your thoughts and feelings? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health, and finding it difficult to live a fulfilled and balanced lifestyle? I'm here to help you and guide you in working towards achieving strength, resiliency, acceptance, and overall stability.
I help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole-self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and art to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University, which informs my approach to supporting you.
Let's work together!

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.
