Welcome!
Melissa Newman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I have always felt that I wanted to help people. My path to becoming a counselor began with nursing studies when I started college and changed to counseling when I graduated. I enjoyed learning in a wholistic way about people. The education I received from my courses about how our bodies work helped me become a better counselor.
I started my counseling career in school counseling providing teen, family and group therapy . Later, I went into private group practice and eventually into my own practice. Along the way, working with and learning from other wonderful and very knowledgeable counselors.
I believe in finding your purpose, passion and place in life. I found that when I became a counselor 19 years ago. That sounds like a long time, but it has gone by quickly because I enjoy what I do. With my experience, I offer compassionate counseling services to clients seeking a trusted ally on their journey to personal growth and well-being. I am a listener, guide and advocate.
My goal is to help you find the insight to you creating your journey. I respect my clients, the process & outcomes that counseling can deliver.

Drawing from a diverse range of therapy techniques, including cognitive, solution-focused, and emotion-focused approaches, I specialize in empowering women and men to strengthen relationships, navigate life transitions, and create a life filled with peace and fulfillment.
