Melissa Bennett-Heinz, LCSW, is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist who believes that the journey of self-discovery and healing is among the most courageous and rewarding experiences a person can undertake. Through her personal process of growth and awareness, as well as her extensive experience helping others, Melissa recognizes a profound human longing for connection, understanding, acceptance, love, and belonging. Utilizing Gestalt Therapy, she creates a nurturing space that facilitates the emergence of the underlying issues that may be keeping individuals stuck in negative patterns, behaviors, and thought processes that hinder their ability to forge meaningful relationships and build trust with others. Is your life in search of meaning? Do you wish to feel more connected and create deeper relationships? Are unresolved grief or past trauma weighing heavily on you, or are you caught in a cycle of addiction? Melissa's approach transcends merely cognitive, linear perspectives and emphasizes the individual process, drawing attention to the body and fostering an experiential awareness that allows new choices to organically emerge.
