Sometimes, life gets a bit overwhelming and we just need a nonjudgemental ear to vent to.

I believe in the power of connection. Psychologist and researcher Brene Brown says, “A deep sense of love and belonging is an irresistible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick”. Through the course of counseling, we will work together to identify, repair, and restore the areas of ‘disconnect’ in your life, so that you may once again reap the mental and physical benefits of this fundamental human need.

Hello, my name is Melissa Vega. I am passionate about allowing everyone to show up and share space with me however they are, right now. I believe that no one, inherently wants to engage in negative things and I think that we are all working with the tools that we have and the experiences that life has given and taught us. I am a master’s level therapist with over 20 + year’s experience in various settings within the mental health field. I like working with pre-teens, teens and adults.

I feel that the bravest thing anyone can do is begin to understand their own story and as your therapist, I’m here to help. Let’s celebrate taking that first step in sorting out and making sense of your thoughts and feelings together. Sometimes our perception of therapy is stuffy, one-sided or that we cannot be our true selves during a session. I can assure you that’s not how our time together will be spent. You have my promise to feel heard, able to engage freely, be genuine, and feel relaxed in a nonjudgmental safe space to help you feel empowered enough to cope with whatever life throws you.
