About
Hi im Melissa! I have worked with adolescents and individuals with special needs in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, in the areas of trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, most of which included dual diagnoses. I have also worked in residential care and treatment for those 18+ who sought relief and recovery from mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, complicated grief, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, psychosis, and co-occurring disorders of substance misuse, disordered eating, gaming, and social media addictions. I am devoted to using Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) in conjunction with other expressive and integrative therapies, to promote healing and positive self-transformation to overcome and manage trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and other challenges. My theoretical framework is based upon Chacian DMT. I use Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Grief Therapy and others. I believe that building a therapeutic relationship tailored to meet the needs of the moment is a key factor for enhancing insight and growth in every individual.
