You are not broken, and you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. If you’re here, it’s because some part of you is seeking understanding, support, or change, and that matters.
I’m Melissa Kerekes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I provide trauma-informed therapy in a space that is respectful, compassionate, and collaborative. I work with individuals who want to feel more grounded, connected, and confident as they navigate life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, or move through important transitions.
Therapy with me honors your resilience and lived experience. Together, we move at a pace that feels right for you, building insight and practical tools that support emotional regulation, self-trust, and meaningful growth. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths and create the changes you want in your life.
