Melissa Gee, LCSW

I strive to create a comfortable, inviting environment for individuals, to feel safe and build trust in our therapeutic relationship. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. We work together in a collaborative, strengths based approach to achieve the individual's specific goals for treatment. I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents and adults.

I encourage my clients to consider our work together as a team approach. I encourage my clients to be active and engaged by using various strategies and techniques during and in between sessions. We work to increase coping skills, and when needed, we will work on processing and understanding underlying, unresolved issues of the past. I work with individuals using person centered psychotherapy, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches.

It is my hope that each client walks away from therapy with a sense of motivation, encouragement and purpose. I hope clients feel they have found a safe space to talk about difficult concerns they are experiencing. I hope clients feel they have found a positive, supportive professional to help them move towards achieving their goals of living a happier, healthier life.
