Weekend and Evening Appointments Available. Feeling overwhelmed or undefeated in your current situation? Is the backpack on your back overflowing? Let me provide you a safe place, where you can unwind and talk about your fears, heartaches, and stressors. Sitting on my couch, things will become uncomfortable, because change does not happen without discomfort. It does not matter what stage you are in, in your life (children, teens, adults or seniors) your feelings are important, and I want to help you understand how your life experiences have shaped the behaviors and feelings you're struggling with today.

I work with individuals, couples, and seniors.
My counseling approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. By definition, this allows individuals to experience "growth and fulfillment" by actively participating in his or her own therapy in order to create change. Often, we lose hope at thinking that things could ever be different. We try and struggle and sometimes fail. But, you have an opportunity to think differently, relate differently, and transition from negativity to positive behaviors which will result in a powerful sense of self and promote strong interpersonal relationships.

There are times in our lives when things just don't seem to go according to plan. I believe everyone has the capacity to change the way they think and feel and to live the life they've dreamed of no matter what may be going on around us! Creating change requires support and experience on the part of the therapist. Through a process of empathy and understanding, I assist clients in creating positive changes in their lives. I provide a hope-inducing environment, which allows clients to feel comfortable as we create a customized plan to go from "feeling stuck" toward achieving personal goals and making positive, lasting changes.

There may be times in your life when you feel as if you are surviving life instead of enjoying it. Now may be one of those moments. Survival is an instinct that drives many human behaviors and is completely acceptable. Moving beyond survival requires support. Life can be challenging at times and seeking help with those challenges can be intimidating. If you are seeking emotional wellness, self-acceptance, personal growth, or help in finding answers, I invite you to call for consultation and determine whether I am the right therapist for you.

Couples! How did things get this bad? There was a time when you both could talk about anything. You connected so profoundly that the thought of having trouble communicating was laughable. But things have changed, and you're at an impasse. Now, every attempt at communication about what matters most leads to useless fighting or icy silences. When you’re together, you still feel desperately alone. You don’t recognize the person your partner has become. Even worse, you don’t like who this relationship has made you become. You aren’t ready to give up, but you know that things can't continue like this. You’re ready for help.

Hi, my name is Melissa Buchanan and I would love the chance to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey. As a therapist, I aim to be in your corner, creating a safe, dependable place to help you process, think outside the box, and feel supported through life's tough moments. I believe many factors impact who you are today (trauma, upbringing, culture, relationship influences, etc), but they do not have to determine your future. While counseling with me, we can get through your concerns together by identifying patterns and focusing more on your goals, in lieu of the things weighing you down and causing you pain.

Serving my country and the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life. After serving for nine years I knew that directly assisting and serving people is the life-giving work of my heart. I became a Social Worker and therapist because it is my greatest joy and pleasure to support you as you unify all your strengths and gifts to release your Faith, Hope, and Love into society.

Since 1991 I've delved into C.G. Jung's teachings, engaging in workshops and lectures across Zurich, Switzerland, and South Florida. My focus lies in aiding patients in overcoming psychological obstacles, conflicts, and trauma, utilizing Jungian psychology's profound exploration of the unconscious. This transformative process extends beyond symptom relief, fostering optimal personal growth by deciphering psychological patterns in their entirety rather than as mere disorders or diagnostic codes. A Jungian approach unveils the deepest mysteries of existence and purpose for those facing profound challenges.

Working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is more than a profession or career choice for me. I recognize this as a true calling. I believe that most people want to live their "best possible life". They just need someone to join them on their life journey to help them become the best possible version of themselves. There is hope for every seemingly hopeless situation. Many times individuals just need a space to feel heard. I would love the opportunity to walk along with you as you discover there is hope and resources available to help you reach your personal goals.
