Melissa Harris understands that working toward a fulfilling life while facing obstacles can be challenging. Everyone may feel lost or stuck at certain points in their journey. In her practice, she collaborates with clients to help them navigate these moments of uncertainty, empowering them to choose a direction and take actionable steps towards a more desired life. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in the evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which blends mindfulness and behavior-change strategies. ACT teaches clients to live fully, even when faced with painful experiences that threaten to hinder progress. Additionally, Melissa is trained in several trauma-informed modalities, including EMDR, allowing her to support individuals in overcoming depression, anxiety, trauma, and long-held anger. By working together to cultivate everyday skills, clients gain a clearer understanding of their values and intentions, providing them with the necessary tools to create the life they envision. Melissa personalizes homework plans that build on each client's strengths and values, fostering daily opportunities for growth. Through her practice, she has witnessed profound transformations as clients rework periods of grief and frustration into deep, positive change.
