Melissa Rudolf is a compassionate and dedicated therapist who understands the profound impact of trauma on individuals and families. With expertise in supporting parents, children, and families, she is committed to facilitating healing in the present while addressing inter-generational trauma to foster healing for future generations. By employing systemic therapy, Melissa considers not only the individual but also their family dynamics, community, and societal influences—examining how concepts of power, privilege, and inequity shape her clients' experiences. She believes that human beings are relational by nature, and our self-perceptions are intricately woven through our connections with others. Melissa's own experiences growing up without a safe confidante inspire her to be that support for her clients, ensuring that they never feel isolated, alone, or misunderstood. As a therapist, she advocates fiercely for the holistic well-being of each client, assisting them in finding gender-affirming care, financial aid, school support, and other essential resources, thereby helping to bridge the gaps that can make accessing support so challenging.
