Committed to Helping People!

​

Melissa Watley MA, LPC, LAC â€‹

​

As a licensed Mental Health and Addiction Counselor, I'm deeply committed to helping you break down the barriers that trouble you, and live a brighter and more fulfilling life. I’ve worked in the field since 2006 and use a combination of education and experience to understand how to best support you.

 

My approach is to meet you where you’re at and work with you to accomplish your goals. I use an integrative trauma informed approach based on my your individual needs. I want to provide a judgment free environment where you can openly talk about and work though difficult things. 

 

With the right tools, I guarantee a better outlook on any issues that life brings your way. Don’t know where to start? Give me a call or write me to schedule your first appointment.
