Hi! My name is Dr. Melissa Woods. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. As a clinician, I enjoy the collaborative navigation of lived experiences in service of cultivating a better quality and more fulfilling life. In therapy, I utilize a holistic understanding of presenting issues and the unique needs of each individual to guide my therapeutic approach. I am deeply rooted in psychodynamic and interpersonal theory, and specialize in CBT, ACT, DBT, Relational Therapy, and Attachment-based Therapy.
I am open to working with individuals of all backgrounds. I also have a niche passion for working with individuals of minority status and those with military/veteran history. I specialize in addressing relationship concerns, depression and anxiety, trauma, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, and stress management.
Having meaningful goals creates an intentional purpose and sets the foundation for lasting therapeutic work. I believe in a collaborative goal-setting approach that is continuously monitored throughout the therapeutic journey.
