Getting to know Melissa Zielinski

"WELCOME and thank you for being here! I work with adult and adolescent clients, I specialize in goal-oriented, insight-based therapy for stress, depression, anxiety, and life adjustment. I want to empower you to meet YOUR goals and getting to a healthier head space! My approach to therapy varies based on the client I work with. I first seek to understand my client and not only what brought them to therapy, but also insight into how they see and understand the world. Next, we work on setting goals the client hopes to achieve. Then I choose the appropriate therapy to take steps toward your progress. My experience and focus includes clients of all ages. My therapy approach is a good fit for adults, adolescents, and older adults who may be working through life transitions, stress, relationship difficulties, family communication issues, peer difficulties, work changes, depression, anxiety, and life adjustments. I provide clients with a ""toolbox"" for the future to better equip them for life's roller coasters. My communication style is friendly, kind, accepting, and patient and compassionate. I want my clients to feel at ease when talking to me, I am able to listen without judgment so we can work together to get to a healthier you. I decided to become a therapist because I felt I could help people who were going through difficult times. I enjoy helping a person find a new perspective and giving insight and hope to others. I find it exciting to watch a client grow, learn new skills, and become empowered through knowledge they didn't have before. I will ask you what you hope to accomplish during our time so we ""set the stage"" to work collaboratively to meet those goals. I seek to build trust and get comfortable with one another, being open about anything including when something works well or when something needs adjusting.
