Introduction

Melissa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been helping children, adolescents, and their families since 2008. She believes in a collaborative approach to therapy, focusing on individual strengths and providing a safe, nurturing environment. Melissa has advanced training in areas like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Outside of work, she loves spending time with her husband, children, and extended family, and you can often find her reading several books at once! Dewina is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a rich clinical career that began in the early 1990s as a music therapist. She's passionate about helping patients within their family systems and believes strongly in the healing power of relationships. Dewina's work is influenced by various theories, including psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT, and she has specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). She's also a board-approved supervisor and adjunct faculty. When she's not working, Dewina enjoys hobbies like sewing, cooking, playing piano and guitar, singing, and traveling, and she shares her home with her husband, three adult daughters, two cockapoos, and two cats. These two have been together on their career journey for over 17 years, and have decided it was time to have their own place. This is where the dream for Clarity Counseling Center was born.
