I'm Melissa Cetlin, I help individuals connect with their authentic selves, fostering inner trust and growth. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, exploring unconscious patterns that shape thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the Wright Institute and have experience with diverse clients in private practice and school settings. I'm certified in Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT), trained in dream analysis, and offer psychedelic integration therapy. I also provide relationship counseling and am passionate about helping clients build a deeper connection with their sense of self.
If you feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed by patterns you can’t understand, therapy can help. You might struggle with anxiety, relationships, identity, or life transitions. Together, we'll work toward clarity, self-acceptance, and deeper connection—within yourself and with others.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences openly. My goal is to support you in feeling grounded, authentic, and aligned with your values. Let's work together on your path to healing and growth.
