Hello, I’m Melissa! When we work together, my goal is for you to feel heard and understood. We'll collaboratively establish solid, achievable goals that resonate with your personal aspirations. This isn't just about talking through problems; it's about actively developing the practical skills that will empower you to live your best life. My ultimate aim is to see you successfully graduate from therapy feeling confident and fully enjoying your life, equipped with a toolkit for ongoing well-being. Clients tell me they appreciate my practical approach. Let's work together to build the skills and confidence you need to truly flourish.
I enjoy working with couples navigating communication struggles, faith differences, and parenting issues. I work with families on identifying patterns, finding strengths, and increasing resilience. We can work together to reduce your symptoms of anxiety, depression, and normal life stressors. I also work with children in play therapy and teens.
Reaching out and beginning therapy is a huge step. You can start the process by sending me a quick text or email. I offer free 15 minute consultations to make sure we are a good fit and to answer any initial questions you might have about the therapy process.
Call or Melissa Thornock now for a free 15 minute consultation - (801) 948-9771
