Melissa Reese

Melissa believes that everyone is worthy of compassionate care and a life that draws from a deep well of peace, hope and joy. Melissa seeks to partner with each client in a way that honors their journey and promotes holistic well-being. Across a lifetime, one may experience events and symptoms which leave them feeling worn down. This struggle can come in the form of depression, anxiety, history of trauma, significant life changes, grief or any variety of stressor. Melissa works with each client to identify strategies to encourage them along the way. She works with clients from a person-centered approach, drawing on principals found in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and solution focused therapy. Melissa received her Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of the Cumberlands in 2023. She has experience in various forms of Christian ministry including years spent as a church planter in Spain and providing ministry and life coaching for other ministry leaders across Europe. She is passionate about building relationships and living in community. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this time, I offer sessions by self-pay or through FirstSun EAP.
