Melissa Kachin

Melissa Kachin, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree, understands that the world often sends conflicting messages that life should always be perfect, filled with blue skies and sunny days. However, she acknowledges that many individuals face moments of darkness, dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety, or inadequacy. In these challenging times, it can be difficult to determine the next steps. Melissa emphasizes that no one has to navigate these feelings alone. Through her therapy practice, she offers a safe and compassionate environment where clients can openly process their experiences, both past and present, allowing them to envision a more hopeful future.

Melissa is committed to creating a supportive space in which clients can freely express their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to make choices that lead to becoming their best selves. She believes that our worldview is shaped not just by our past, but by how we narrate our experiences. By encouraging her clients to tell their stories with compassion, Melissa facilitates healing and helps them release past burdens, enabling a courageous leap into the future. With additional post-graduate training in trauma-focused therapy techniques such as EMDR and narrative therapy, Melissa equips herself with the tools necessary to guide individuals through difficult life transitions.
