I’m Dr. Messer, a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and uncover their potential for growth and healing. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy. I implement an integrative perspective, employing different modalities such as CBT, DBT, CPT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Harm Reduction.
I specialize in treating individuals with a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. I work collaboratively with clients, meeting them where they are and tailoring each session to align with your unique goals and needs, using evidence-based practices.
I believe therapy is a space for connection, understanding, and growth. I take a collaborative approach in coming up with your goals for treatment. Together, we’ll create a supportive environment where you can explore your feelings, overcome challenges, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling.
