Melissa Hackbarth
Counselor - LPC-IT
Wellness is YOUR story and I want to commend you on taking your initial step! Life can often seem like a road trip, with our internal GPS taking us on an adventure of twists, turns, up hills, and down valleys. A road trip, however, is never complete without good company, and on this road trip we call life, I want to help individuals highlight their inner strengths to weather uncertainty, accomplish personal goals, and make their voices be heard! I am passionate about taking a collaborative and holistic approach when working with individuals. This approach incorporates aspects of the mind, physical body, spirit and soul to promote overall wellness.I am devoted to working with diverse populations of adolescents/teens and adults experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, stress management, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem/confidence, and grief processing, as well as with military members, veterans, emergency medical service personnel, and their families.I am equipped to provide comprehensive and compassionate support for clients in terms of advocacy, promotion of social justice, self-exploration, personal development, and educational growth. Working together, we’ll be able to take your journey back to some smoother paths!
