Life hurts sometimes…full of ups, downs, twists & turns. Sometimes it can feel like a roller coaster that you cannot wait to get off of. Therapy can be the answer to getting support through these uncontrollably tough moments. This is your life and while you will always be the expert, let’s work together to help relieve some of the burdens you carry and learn important tools to get back to the person you want to be. I am a client centered CBT therapist whose primary focus is helping you help yourself. Together we can help you regain lost control and begin again, you are not alone anymore. Let's get started, why wait another day?
I am a client centered CBT therapist whose primary focus is helping you help yourself. I want you to feel heard, understood and walk away from our work together feeling empowered to begin managing life instead of feeling controlled by it. Depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, finding yourself again, we can help you get your life back.
I strive to meet clients exactly where they are- ready to jump on or perhaps guarded, hesitant, and unsure about therapy but willing to give it a shot? Sounds good. Ready to jump in head first, let's go! Either way, I am right here with you.
Take the first step to help. Melanie Wheeler now
