Melissa Nicholson, MA, LMFT

Staff Therapist

I consider it a joy and privilege to journey alongside those I work with. I believe it is through relationships that true healing and change can occur. I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families learn new ways of communicating and being with one another. I am passionate about working with those experiencing life transitions, difficulties with anger, history of trauma, and grief. I will work with you towards unveiling areas of weariness, loneliness, and shame to discover with you a new way in life and relationships. It is my hope to journey with you towards healing and freedom.
