My name is Melissa Wickes, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am based in the St. Louis area and work with clients throughout the state of Missouri via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy in order to meet my clients where they are and help facilitate the process of change. Truthfully I think that I have always been curious about why people think and feel the way they do. I believe that everyone deserves to be happy and fulfilled, and am happy to help anyone I can to achieve their goals.
I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. In addition, I have extensive experience working with individuals who have been impacted by the justice system. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life, and that sometimes we all need a little help to get there.
My communication style is calm, respectful, and non-judgmental. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking to me about their issues. I will be sure to take the time necessary to listen and understand each client's views.
