Hi, my name is Melissa and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.  I hope that every time we speak, you get the chance to discuss an important topic.  It is important to me to be an additional member to your support network.  Together, we can explore the tools you have currently that are working for happiness and success and what we can improve on.  I am confident that I have strategies to help to decrease anxiety, depression and everyday stress.  It can be helpful to make commitments to challenge ourselves in everyday living to work on personal goals and surround ourselves with positive people.  You should be proud of yourself for taking the time to increase effective strategies in your everyday life.<br /> <br />
