Therapy works the moment you decide that you don’t want to process through life alone. Your wellness depends on your willingness to receive the help you need to begin recovery and become restored. Beginning therapy is like a gift you give yourself for never giving up even on the toughest days. Therapy provides you with a trusted voice to be your most authentic self and express your feelings. It is a safe place to share your story and rewrite the narrative when needed and to help you navigate through life no matter the path you are on, or the path you desire to take. Therapy is not easy; it will require work, and it is worth it.

Are you struggling with chronic relapse, binges, sex/love/porn addiction, excess substance use, dissociative disorder, or attachment issues? Do you want to decrease your urge to vape, smoke marijuana/nicotine, or drink? Have you experienced social phobia, one or more addictions, sexual abuse, or trauma? Are you suffering from grief and loss or complex PTSD?

Are silent treatments, passive-aggressive comments, or nights spent on opposite sides of the bed becoming all too common? Or maybe you feel as though shouting into a void in your relationship, with every word falling on deaf ears? I’m Melica Wiley, your dedicated couples therapist.

Couples come to me when they are sick of small disagreements turning into BIG arguments. Many therapists start with the problems… I start with solutions. I’ve created simple tools to help couples communicate based on seeing what successful couples do differently for over 20 years in practice.

The great Italian novelist Elsa Morante once said, "It does not matter how the facts occur in life, it matters how they are told." I love this quotation because it speaks to the power of words to transform our distinct realities. You are the author of your own life – but perhaps you've found yourself stuck with writer's block or repeating the same old story. Together we will precisely locate what chapters from your past need some editing, so you can start writing, this time in a new way.

I approach therapy with the mindset that every client has internal skills that give them the ability to reach personal goals. With an integrative client-centered approach, the client takes the lead as the expert to their life and patterns of behaviors, and I help guide the client to uncover causes of core beliefs systems that fuel areas of concern. My role in this process is to support clients with encouragement while also maintaining accountability for positive change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who believes in the power of therapy to transform lives. I have worked with clients of all ages, ranging from children and adolescents to adults.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the understanding that every individual has a unique set of life experiences that shape them.

If you are struggling with your emotional pain or feel like you can’t control your fearful, anxious thoughts — there is hope. Pain has a way of forcing us to confront our vulnerabilities and limitations. You may be dealing with doubt, anger, fear or confusion. Perhaps you can’t stop focusing on your weaknesses instead of your strengths. You are stuck doubting or criticizing yourself. Or maybe you belittle your emotions or experiences.

If you struggle with low self-esteem, poor self-efficacy, lack healthy coping skills, have codependent or people-pleasing traits, anxiety or depression. We work together to decrease negative symptoms, and improve overall daily functioning so you can lead a less stressful life.
