Melisa Rae

Licensed Associate Counselor

Do you feel different or uncomfortable in your own skin? Have trouble fitting in? You are in the right place! Melisa is a new age identifying therapist who knows what it’s like to be different. She has spent her life as a "square peg trying to fit into a round hole”. With 20 years’ experience, Melisa is client centered, solution focused, and results driven. She can assist you in gaining a sense of confidence in moving through life. She uses an eclectic approach including DBT concepts, CBT, parts work, empty chair technique, Motivational Interviewing, journaling, bibliotherapy, psychoeducation, and other forms of expressive growth.

​

She is LGBTQ+ and BIPOC affirming and enjoys working with intuitive, creative, and nonconforming adults. Melisa has lived experience with toxic parents and narcissistic relationships as well as experience working with limerence, attachment disorders, and self-esteem issues. She prefers to use a holistic/ metaphysical approach rather than a religious one.

​

As a student of metaphysical modalities, Melisa often uses the concepts of gratitude and law of attraction during her sessions. Times are stressful right now and having someone to offer support and guidance can mean a great deal in navigating life in a difficult world.
