Melissa Douglass
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist - LCSW, DCC
Do you appear to others to be fine but inside you are not? Do you go through life feeling obligated to keep a smile on your face when inside you are falling apart? You cope by working hard at achieving in school and work; even when praised for your success you still feel unfulfilled or “less than”. Behind the mask of success, you’re secretly hurting, insecure, overwhelmed, and unsure how many more things you can add to your to-do list before you “lose it”. You are not alone and don’t have to suffer in silence.I specialize in working with young adults who struggle with managing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and self-esteem who are also experiencing educational, career, and life transitions; such as transitioning from high school, pursuing post-secondary plans, persisting through college and grad school, advancing professionally, becoming first-time parents, etc. My aim is to make the discussion and implementation of mental health goals as common and comfortable as any other life goals we set (such as physical health, education, career, etc.), while also providing tangible resources and guidance to make the achievement of those goals a reality. I strongly believe in genuine relationship and individualization as one of the most important factors in a successful counseling experience, and I strive to provide that very experience.No need to figure out if my office is close enough or squeeze travel into your schedule. All sessions are offered through secure-video conferencing to meet you where you are in your everyday environment. Call today, and let’s put YOU at the top of your to-do list!
