Getting to know Melissa Trochez

Hi there, I'm Melissa! Everyone needs a safe person to talk to, whether you are interested in personal growth, improved relationships with loved ones, healing from past trauma or simply feeling stuck in life, lets talk about it. Also certified in Art Therapy for those of you interested in a unique approach. My focus I have for over 15 years worked with youth, adolescents, young adults, individuals, parents and families. The work has been focused on empowering families/individuals to build on foundational skills to instill lasting change. My focus has been with BIPOC populations and in many cases lower SES. My approach My approach to therapy allows me to be warm and present. I have a calm nonjudgmental demeanor. I want to help you find answers that make sense to you and support you in meeting your goals. My communication style Therapy can be intimidating and abstract to some, I want to invite clients to ask questions, to feel empowered with information and be truly informed about decisions you are making in therapy. I encourage communication and welcome questions. My journey to mental healthcare I started as an entrepreneur, working as freelance artist knowing that I had a strong desire to help others, which led me to perusing a degree as an Art Therapist/LMFT. Helping others has always been a virtue. My goals for you I will provide suggestions and strategies to maximize your progress. It is important that change is measured in our time working together, the goals will be clear and the steps needed to move towards success will be communicated throughout treatment. Our first session Our first session will consist of introductions, discussing what brings you in and coming up with a plan of action. There will be time for questions you may have. It is important that you feel comfortable.
