Melissa Abbott

LPC & Testing Administrator

It's a privilege to be able to bear witness to someone's story when they may not have had the chance to tell it before."          - Lindy Alexander

My approach 

My therapeutic approach is all about creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I pride myself on being an empathetic and compassionate listener, someone who truly takes the time to understand your unique experiences without judgment. My goal is to validate your feelings while also helping you discover your own strength and resilience.

 

I’m here to work alongside you, not to tell you what to do. I respect where you’re at in your journey and will help you navigate challenges at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is motivating and empowering—I want you to leave each session feeling like you’ve gained clarity, confidence, and practical tools you can use in your daily life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating life transitions, or improving relationships, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.

 

Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and valued in our sessions, and that’s my ultimate goal. I believe in creating a collaborative, non-judgmental environment where we can explore your challenges together and celebrate your progress along the way. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing and growth, I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey.

Therapeutic Techniques

I specialize in working with women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, helping them navigate the unique challenges that arise during these transformative stages of life. Whether it’s balancing the demands of careers, relationships, and parenting in their 30s, addressing midlife transitions and hormonal changes in their 40s, or rediscovering purpose and navigating empty nests or caregiving in their 50s, I provide a compassionate, supportive space to explore and grow. Many of the women I work with seek help for anxiety, burnout, self-esteem struggles, unprocessed trauma, or shifts in identity. Together, we delve into these challenges with empathy and respect, creating practical strategies for navigating transitions, strengthening relationships, building self-confidence, and fostering emotional well-being. My goal is to empower women to reconnect with themselves, heal past wounds, and move forward with clarity and purpose in every phase of their lives.
