About me
Supporting your healing journey with compassion, clarity, and a space where your story truly matters. With over 25 years of experience, I help clients find clarity, healing, and hope through compassionate, evidence-based care.
I’m Melissa Marquez, LCSW, a therapist with more than 25 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s most overwhelming and meaningful moments. My approach is steady, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that every person deserves a safe place to feel seen, heard, and understood.
At Village Creek Counseling and Education, PLLC, I provide trauma-informed, person-centered, evidence-based care through a fully telehealth model—making therapy accessible, flexible, and comfortable for your everyday life. My work is rooted in deep respect for your story, your strengths, and the courage it takes to seek support.
I help clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, burnout, and relationship patterns, offering practical tools and insight while creating space for healing and growth. My style is warm but direct, supportive yet empowering, and always tailored to your unique needs.
What I offer is simple but meaningful:
A calm, grounded partnership where your story matters—and where healing, clarity, and real change are possible.
