Melissa Grivy

My communication style

Above all else, I am tactful. While I am direct in my communication style, I engage other humans with sensitivity and kindness, prioritizing creating a safe environment where we still feel connected even if hard conversations arise. I value being approachable, collaborative in problem solving, and consistently seek to harmonize with my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

The lore: As a therapist, I was cooked via internal quests through personal darkness and subsequent transformation. My own success in my healing journey led me here. I have been in the field about 8 years and have an extensive resume, which has included working as a first responder, staffing inpatient units, and working with homeless youth.

My goals for you

You and I will intentionally craft goals to guide our time together. I am trained in an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities that gives me more range to help us get you unstuck/increase momentum and we will move as a team to get you to your glow up point! I bring the spirit of encouragement, creativity, and tenacity to problem-solving.

Our first session

My intention for our first session is that you feel welcomed, safe, and honored. Any nervousness or anxiety you might feel is normal and welcome! I am a low power differential therapist--I am seeking to build a relationship with you that uplifts and empowers your human experience. You, your feelings, and your experiences are safe here.
