Melissa Stratton

My communication style

I create a warm, professional, strength-based, supportive, and welcoming environment where I solely focus on the client's needs. It feels like entering a friend's home with a friend who listens and does not judge, and focuses on helping you during the difficult and good times in the journey called life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to walk alongside people during their most challenging moments. My faith guides my work, and I believe in the resilience and strength within each person. Helping others find hope and healing through difficult seasons is what drives my commitment to this work.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with a client-centered approach and work with them throughout therapy to help them meet their goals and change goals if necessary. It is a collaborative approach between the client and the therapist.

Our first session

The first session begins with the introduction of the clinician, going over limits of confidentiality, what to expect from therapy, going over any risk limitations of therapy, and basic information gathering regarding the problem and relational-family history information.
