True acceptance of yourself is the first step to healing. Are you looking to build insight into your life? Are you interested in understanding yourself better? Do you want to understand and improve your relationships? If you answered yes, then therapy is right for you. I will provide a safe and accepting space for you on your journey. Some of the things that I offer in therapy are therapeutic feedback, help in identifying unhelpful patterns or thoughts, psychoeducation, relaxation techniques, communication and social skills.

Are you feeling anxious or stuck? Do you wake up each day not really wanting to get out of bed? Are you worried that you will never feel any different? We are living in incredibly anxious and unprecedented times where we are being asked to do the impossible. During the most challenging of times, we all need some extra support and help. Often times when we are stressed with day to day life, old traumas and stressors can resurface. I work side by side with you in a collaborative way to help you learn new ways to regulate your emotions so you can become unstuck and refocus and move toward your goals.

It has been my pleasure over the last 35 years to assist my clients in getting through though their internal and external challenges.

Therapy is about exploring transitions and losses. A loss of a relationship, a job, a lifestyle, a home, a friendship, or the loss of a dream or expectation. We dismiss some losses, not realizing their impact on our day to day life. We may suffer from anxiety or depression without understanding why they are present. Other losses, however, can be so traumatic that we lose our ability to heal from them. Moreover, we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes, not being able to transform ourselves and change our behavior, even when we realize that our reactions are unhelpful and self-destructive. We wonder whether life will be better.

Nobody understands your life better than you. My job is to guide you in finding the answers that you’re looking for, and to assist you in living a more desirable life. Together, we will explore different aspects of your life from your relationships to your inner-life.

Are you feeling depressed, alone, or anxious? Are you struggling with an addiction? Are you tired of fighting with your partner? Do you want to heal after a break-up or divorce? Do you want to stop attracting the same partners in your life and start dating consciously? If you answered YES to any of these questions, chances are you feel frustrated, confused, and alone. The good news is that solutions do exist for you. We have helped many individuals, couples and families reach higher ground with an action-oriented approach to healing.

Are you experiencing difficulties adjusting to separation, divorce, chronic illness, or loss of a loved one? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship problems that make you feel stuck? We all go through transitions in life, and at times, may need support to feel empowered and whole again. As a therapist, I offer an atmosphere of warmth, empathy, openness, and creativity to help you take control of your life and make meaningful changes. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families during their difficult times and help them to reach their goals toward a healthier life and thrive.

Early relationships shape the way the mind and brain develop from our young years into our adult lives. Our connections with caregivers induce neural circuit firings that persist throughout our lives, shaping how we think, feel, remember, and behave. When we are lucky enough to have secure attachment experiences in which we feel seen, safe, soothed, and secure—the “four S’s of attachment” that serve as the foundation for a healthy mind—these relational experiences stimulate the neuronal activation and growth of the integrative fibers of the brain.

Hi, I’m Dr. Melissa Murren, a clinical psychologist specialized in health and wellness. I help people who are undergoing life transitions, such as mid life, body image, identity issues, changes caused by illness, disability, chronic pain, caregiving, grief and loss, or other changes that are causing you to question who you are and where you fit in. If life is changing too fast and you're having trouble making sense of it all, I can help. If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, sleepless nights, difficulty concentrating, feeling worried and preoccupied, or otherwise just don't feel like yourself, I can help.

We all live in a world of stories... The meaning we attach to these stories become a template of how we feel about ourselves. The emotional outcome of this thinking can be depression, anxiety and at other times, happiness. What is the meaning of these stories? I believe facts bring us to knowledge, but stories lead us to wisdom. Therapy is a creative and supportive process of getting to know your true self, of re-authoring the old story and writing a new one. Discover who you are... apart from the problem, and find a unexpected path to build inner strength and resources. We all have within us access to a greater wisdom, but we may not know this until we speak out loud. In a place that feels safe enough for us to talk about what is really going on in our lives without fear of being judged, abandoned, or criticized. I bring to therapy a combination of insight, intuition, emotional support and guidance. Therapy can be done through visual storytelling (Art Therapy), writing, and talking with a therapist. Someone who attends to you with acceptance, support and genuine curiosity, exploring how you make sense of your world.

At Boulevard Therapy, we believe that life is a journey, and that we often benefit sharing our journey with someone who can help us to navigate life's unexpected or unfamiliar territories. Often the journey can become more difficult when we are overwhelmed with life's stress and challenges, leaving us feeling immobilized, out of control, confused, and/or in despair. Sometimes another perspective is beneficial as we navigate these paths.

Life's journey can be intense and difficult at times. Painful experiences can throw us into a downward spiral of sufferance. Being able to process our struggles allow us to turn them into catalysts for a meaningful life. I offer a space of sincere empathy and emotional safety to explore, learn and grow from discomfort and unease. Through my clinical training I have learned different modalities that allow me to connect with the deepest available information from my clients, and from there I use my knowledge and experience to empower them to find their own truth.

I am a direct and pragmatic person with a warm and empathetic demeanor. With over a decade of experience, I am adept at identifying the underlying causes of ongoing distress and dysfunction. My goal in working with clients is to help them develop understanding and insight about the origins of their problems so that they can utilize and enhance their current strengths to bring about growth and healing. In addition, I am actively involved with various research communities to remain current with the newest and most effective treatment modalities.

Are you suffering from anxiety and depression, or having symptoms such as insomnia or a change in appetite, have feelings that something is not quite right but feel stuck as how to change. We are often unconsciously drawn to familiar situations we learned in childhood. Events and relationships in the earlier parts of our lives have affected us, and draw us into familiar situations where we repeat unhealthy choices, that are often not in our best interest.

My goal is to foster a dialogue and discovery in order to move towards a more enriching, liberated life and self. You and I will work together to help foster an understanding of yourself, your life, your relationships with self and others, the world in which you live and your belief system, through increasing awareness of self and working with the the mind and body collaboratively. Whether you're facing challenges in your relationships, experiencing anxiety or depression, confronting difficult decisions, or feeling the pain of loss, I am experienced with all of these areas and can help lighten your load.
