Melissa Oden, LLMSW

I am a dedicated therapist who is passionate about helping others cope with anxiety, childhood trauma and women issues.

Welcome! My name is Melissa, I am a limited licensed therapist, and I received my master’s degree in social work from the University of Michigan. I take a strengths-based, client-centered approach to counseling individuals. I believe each client has within them the tremendous potential for growth with the support, skill set, and insight gained from the collaborative, therapeutic relationship. My practice theories include; cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, strength-based, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, attachment theory, and person-centered.

As an individual living with anxiety, I understand the daily challenges and I help others learn how to cope with anxiety. I include various techniques that aide in calming the mind and body. I have a focus and interest in working with adults 18 and older on anxiety disorders, self-esteem, personal growth, women’s empowerment and childhood trauma.

Whether you are new to therapy or have had mental health services in the past, I would love to join you on your journey of healing! Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, I encourage you to be proud of yourself for actively pursuing the thought of therapy, many great things can start with just a thought! I invite you to reach out when you feel ready!

I became a therapist because I find people genuinely interesting and I enjoy hearing about their life experiences! A little bit about me: I am a dog lover, I enjoy working out, cooking and reading!

I am available Monday -Saturday from 9 AM to 7 PM for online and in person sessions
