Melissa Craven

My communication style

Clients describe my style as holding the hard stuff while inviting playfulness too. I bring warmth, humor, sense of play, and deep experience with expressive arts. You can count on me finding creative ways of helping you reconnect with yourself and build emotional awareness through creative discovery.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up amongst creative but struggling people. The arts and psychology led me to meaningful questions: How can one environment lead to so many unique perspectives? How can we connect beyond words to process pain and lift one another toward our true selves?

My goals for you

During each session, you will identify a specific and reasonable goal in line with your values and intentions. The idea is to choose something you will likely do- to get things moving in the right direction. (If you don't get around to it that week, we'll use the information to better understand the cues you need to change habits.

Our first session

Contact me to book a free consultation. This is an initial opportunity to ask questions and begin to identify needs. In our first session or two, we will get to know your hopes and struggles. In subsequent sessions, you may need to talk through an issue, learn a coping strategy, or practice forms of expression.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
