Melyssa Agee-Mares

My communication style

Communication during our sessions will be gentle, yet direct. I encourage open, empathetic conversations rooted in curiosity and honesty to help us avoid misunderstandings. I always invite feedback so I can better attune my approach to your specific needs. And, to keep things light, I like to bring a little humor!

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a large family, I learned early on that humor and heart can bridge almost any gap. My journey into providing mental health services began in 2004, working as a case manager, social service director, and clinical director. I have both professional and personal experiences in caregiving and parenting children with neurodivergence.

My goals for you

Together, we will develop a plan that respects your worldview to reach your goals. I meet you exactly where you are, moving at a pace that feels safe for you. Together, we’ll work to integrate life’s "scars" into a new, whole identity. You’ll find your anxiety and grief softening as you gain tools to feel fully engaged in your life again.
