Melissa Watson-clark

Melissa Watson-Clark, LCSW-C, is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist committed to helping adults who feel disconnected or unsupported in times of change. With a focus on navigating significant life transitions, she partners with her clients to identify and overcome the obstacles that hinder their well-being. Through her compassionate approach, Melissa helps individuals explore the meaning of change and develop effective strategies to recognize and challenge the automatic thoughts that can trap them in cycles of fear, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She believes that nature serves as a vital ally to optimal health and wellness, and her unique space, Gardenwood, has been thoughtfully designed to harness its healing powers. Clients can benefit from both indoor and outdoor therapeutic settings, and are encouraged to participate in the development of the healing garden on the grounds. Utilizing a blend of therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and mindfulness practices, Melissa aims to create a therapeutic experience enriched by nature. Her approach also incorporates elements of Reiki and herbalism, offering a holistic pathway to healing and personal growth.
