Melissa J. Anthony

I specialize in clients who have to keep it together on the outside but are falling apart on the inside. Suffering in silence is fuel for self-hatred, people-pleasing, self-sabotage, avoidance, anger, shutting down, addiction, detachment, perfectionism, imposter syndrome... If this feels familiar, I assume it’s been absolutely draining. If you have a career or environment that forces you to stay silently ablaze, it's downright hellish. Therapy provides insight into how to get out of the muck; my style of therapy is for the people who want to go deeper and find the way out of the pain, even when it scares them. My niche is trauma and grief; along with the depression and anxiety that often follows it. I’ve helped hundreds of clients in various settings regain control of their lives and craft a life worth living. I provide trauma consultation and counseling to other therapists along with providing counseling to various adult professionals tired of faking life. I provide real-life tools you can use, quietly and effectively, in moments you need them most. You learned negative ways to adapt to your stress; now it's time to unlearn what keeps you stuck there mentally and emotionally. I'll walk beside you every step of the way while you laugh, ugly cry, therapeutically rage, and with best effort, begin to heal. --------------------- I've dedicated my career to trauma and grief therapy working with hundreds of clients and trauma professionals in a multitude of settings; from coordinating trauma programs for hospitals to consulting with various community mental health agencies, groups, and private practices throughout Michigan. Reach out for a free consultation and lets see how I may be able to help you. --------------------- Better Days Counseling and Consultation, LLC is private pay and telehealth only but accepts payment via debit, credit, HSA, and FSA cards.
