About Melissa
"As a therapist, I believe it is important to create space for safety and connection where we can explore the intersections of mind, body, and emotion with curiosity, self-trust, healing, and intentionality."
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 3 years of experience supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their inner strength. My approach combines evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and compassion to help clients reconnect with mind and body. I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to explore our thoughts and emotions with openness, curiosity, and self-acceptance, allowing space for growth and meaningful transformation.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Oklahoma. In my work, I integrate mindfulness, somatic awareness, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients build insight, emotional balance, and self-compassion. My goal is to offer a calm, grounded, and nonjudgmental space for self-discovery and healing.
In our sessions, I’ll hold space for your strength and your struggle. Together, we’ll explore patterns that shape your life and uncover new pathways for growth. I value curiosity, empathy, and collaboration in the therapeutic process because true healing happens through connection, understanding, and compassionate presence.

About Shauna
"As someone passionate about my own mental health, I would like to help you navigate yours with empathy, positivity, and a calming presence."
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with 9 years of experience, and I’ve had the privilege of helping clients navigate life’s challenges since earning my licensure. My work focuses on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidal ideation, personality disorders, and psychosis. I also enjoy working with couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring their gender identity.
I earned a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of every individual or couple I work with, using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and evidence-based techniques that promote grounding, self-awareness, and resilience while helping clients build healthier coping skills.
My own mental health journey and lifelong role as a natural listener inspired me to become a counselor in my 40s, and it remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I believe in creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and discover new paths toward growth and healing.
