Melissa Aristoza is an Associate Clinical Social Worker currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner.

A desire to uplift others and highlight their strengths is what inspires me to work in the field of mental health care. I ensure that clients feel heard and understood in sessions by asking reflective questions to better understand their inner world and perspectives and by creating a space that allows clients to share their thoughts without judgment. It is important for me to make the client feel that they are the expert of their own issues and that we are collaborating together to shed light on solutions.
