Welcome! My name is Melissa. I am a board-certified lifespan psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience. I specialize in child, adolescent, and adult mental health and provide psychotherapy and/or medication management to the specific needs of my clients. I utilize a holistic, collaborative, and person-centered approach to address the unique needs and circumstances of each individual. The therapy I provide is grounded in supportive, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, strength-based, and mindfulness-based theories and approaches. Dealing with mental health disorders can be incredibly difficult and overwhelming, and it's common to feel scared and alone when facing these challenges. However, it's important to remember that help is available and you don't have to face these struggles alone. With the right support and tools, it's possible to find balance, cultivate a positive sense of self, and manage stressors effectively. Remember that taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health, and there is no shame in seeking help when you need it. I am dedicated to each one of my clients in achieving positive outcomes and living an enjoyable life. Together, we will create an effective treatment plan through psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both to meet your goals, alleviate distress, and find balance. I can provide medication, therapy, or both for my clients; however, I also appreciate collaborating with other therapists and am available to provide medication management to clients who are already in therapy. website: https://www.innovativehealthandwellbeing.com
