Dr. Melissa Polusny, PhD, LP, ABPP
Introduction
If you’ve been through something hard—something that left a mark—you don’t have to carry it alone. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a different kind of space: one where your story is heard with compassion, and healing becomes possible. Together, we’ll move from adversity to resilience. I’m a board-certified clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people recover from trauma and reclaim their lives. I use evidence-based therapies like PE and CPT, and bring warmth, clarity, and a steady presence to the work we do. We’ll move at your pace, track your progress together, and build skills that support lasting change. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure whether therapy can help, you’re not alone. I meet clients where they are—with honesty, structure, and care. Reaching out is a brave first step—and I’m here when you’re ready.
