Melissa Stephens, LLPC (Telehealth Only)
About
I tell all of my clients that the safe space of therapy is yours, and I just work there. This is true with Telehealth as well. Even with virtual sessions, it is still your space, and I just provide the tools. Hello, I am Melissa Stephens, LLPC, Trauma-Focused Mental Health Therapist. My passion is empowering clients to use their strengths and skills I teach them to heal and grow in their mental health. Therapy is not a cookie-cutter concept; not every therapist is a good fit for every client, and that is okay. My specialties are childhood trauma, sexual abuse recovery, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, couples, adolescents, and teens.
Therapy is about vulnerability, trust, learning, and change. It takes time, commitment, and isn't a linear process. Here is the thing about the therapy process: it is also very beautiful, and I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your therapeutic journey.
