Introduction

I’m Melissa Parrish, MA, LPC, ASDCS, CCTP, CGP, founder of Center Within Therapy in Hackettstown, NJ. I work with adults and caregivers who carry more than most people realize. From the outside, you’re keeping up. Underneath, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. I focus on anxiety, chronic stress, grief and loss, trauma, and the emotional weight of caregiving. I also have specialized experience supporting neurodivergent adults, parents of children with medical or special needs, and first responders and their spouses. I started Center Within Therapy so you could be seen as a whole person, not a list of symptoms. My approach is person-centered and practical, drawing on CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and nervous system regulation. Together, we’ll look at how your experiences shaped the patterns you rely on, recognize what’s no longer working, and build new ways to respond. Therapy isn’t about giving you another set of expectations to meet, and you don’t need to have it figured out before you start. My goal is to help you move beyond just pushing through, so handling what life asks of you doesn’t take everything you’ve got. You don’t have to wait for life to get easier first. I offer online therapy across New Jersey, accept Aetna and Horizon BCBS, and provide a free 20-minute consultation.
