Therapists in Gilbert, AZ

Have you noticed a shift in your child or family? Maybe you're concerned but aren't sure what the root of the issue is... As a parent, you want your child to feel secure, confident, and safe – from bullying, social media, societal standards, the pandemic, and unfortunate family circumstances. The truth is… Events and people have affected your child in a way that matters to you, but getting them to open up and divulge all that is happening within them is possibly VERY challenging. [Note: No insurance is accepted at this time. Virtual sessions are also available if located outside of California or outside of the US.] Sometimes the most confident child still can’t find the words to say… Certain feelings, emotions, and traumas live deep within your child. Even when they want to release it, there can be extreme difficulty in doing so. These feelings can affect almost everything ranging from your child’s schoolwork to behavior, friendships, family dynamics, overall wellness, and more… That’s where I enter the picture. As a Wellness Counselor, I work with your child at eye level. Without the daunting need to earn the approval of authoritative teachers, doctors, and even psychologists, children and young adults have the unique ability to share and open up with someone who gets it. In our sessions, your child has the floor to talk about their dreams, aspirations, fears, and even unfortunate events that they’re hiding inside. Each session adheres to the understanding that diagnosis of you or your child is not the goal. The only issue of greatest concern is their well-being. With your child’s needs at the center, they soar. It’s an unbelievable feeling for a child to receive this type of support. With the pressure off and the need to receive approval put aside, your child can release, let go, and share. The weight released in each session is often monumental, with clients leaving feeling affirmed, capable, and one step closer to gaining balance again. Let’s hop on a brief call. Typically, within the first 15 minutes, we can determine if one-on-one sessions are the right step for your child. I will always make a recommendation based on my expertise and your family's situation. ___ Hi, I’m Melissa, a Wellness Counselor to your child or young adult. I received my Master's from Northwestern University and have a unique gift of connecting with children, building rapport, and helping them feel safe to open up. This work is more than a career, but a calling. Each child gets their own unique support based on their personality, needs, and family goals. I equip the children with tools to better communicate, express their emotions in a healthy way, and also support the process of healing after a traumatic event. These counseling sessions are led with mentorship at the center, where your little one is met at eye level and has the floor. They’ll be heard, understood, and counseled in the areas needed most. The stress, overwhelm, mental and physical issues can begin to shift out of focus as your child gains confidence, a sense of safety, and feels secure in their future. Let’s hop on a brief call. Typically, within the first 15 minutes, we can determine the next right step.

Nature is such a gift. Even in those times that feel uncertain, use that gift and allow it to nourish you. ☺️✨

I have a deep background in compassionate communication. My clients can trust me completely because to them I am the person that tells them what they don’t want to hear shows them what they don’t want to see so they can have the life that they really want to live. I’m not afraid of holding my clients accountable and helping them to find their true life purpose. I’ve been working with couples, individuals and youth for over 25 years. I hope to help you too! I DO NOT prescribe drugs. I DO NOT take insurance. Once we start working together I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. So if you have to cancel your appointment with me just LMK 24 hours in advance to avoid paying in full for your missed session.

I'm a transformational coach empowering people to re-write their reality and lessen stress. I work with them to make a major shift towards more meaning and depth in life. I inspire clients to become more authentic and make lasting changes to their health, career, relationships and emotional well-being. Do you find yourself caged in a prison of limiting beliefs? Are you tired of the never-ending demands that threaten to constantly overwhelm you? Do you give in to others because you're unable to set boundaries? It doesn't have to be that way. You can have it all - a deeper connection to yourself, great relationships and a fresh perspective. And ultimately, more freedom. This is what can happen if you join me on a coaching journey. Together we can navigate a new and fulfilling pathway, so you will no longer feel alone. If you are ready to live the life you want, let's connect and make it happen. We start by looking at what truly matters to you and then what's missing. I have been coaching for 4 years after completing 3 life and health coaching certificate courses with Coach Training International and Health Coach Institute. I was born in London. Years, ago I worked as a social worker there. My sister had mental health issues. She inspired me to become a coach after seeing how much difference acceptance and support made to her life. My previous business experience was in creating and running a successful real estate company and managing personal growth seminars for many years. At this point support and giving back is my main focus, rather than making money, so sessions are offered at very low rates. I am based in California.

I am passionate about helping women and men regain their power and lifestyle after stressful life events, difficult break ups, tumultuous relationships, messy divorce, and abusive partnerships. My goal is to help all my clients holistically from the inside out to feel powerful, attractive, independent and balanced. I have my master's in Psychotherapy/Marriage and Family Therapy with a certification in Neuropsychotherapy and specialize in relationship and dating consulting, emotional healing, understanding narcissist personalities, reframing, wardrobe and beauty consulting, and general guidance. My knowledge comes from my education and academic training as well as professional and many personal experiences. I am certified and trained by the Gottman Institute in treating affairs and trauma and I am super passionate about this type of work. If you experienced this type of betrayal, I can and will help you- I get it. In addition, I am trained as a Past Life Regression Therapist. What is that you ask? Well, ever wonder why you love some things (or people!) and dislike others? Or why you keep having that reoccurring dream? Yep- I can help you with that! This eclectic combination of education, experiences, skills and training has served me with resources and advice that I know can and will help my clients flourish, love and be loved again. I specialize in treating affairs and trauma. Finding out your spouse or partner has been unfaithful can be one of the most devastating and life altering experience one can have in life. Healing from this whether you choose to stay together or not is a long, exhausting, and painful process. A process in which I not only understand professionally but personally, as well. I can help…. Whether you stay or leave. As we all know relationships are complicated. Working with couples is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my work. Helping my clients modify destructive and unhealthy patterns, deescalating toxicity and recommending healthy communication efforts are just a few elements of coaching couples. Depending on each of my client’s goals, I help build healthy and fulfilling relationships or help my clients de-couple in the most peaceful way possible. In addition, I am certified in treating affairs and trauma by the Gottman Institute and work with couples who have been affected by infidelity and betrayal. This is something I am profoundly passionate about and a large part of the work I do. I have a very direct approach to coaching which is why I don’t practice traditional therapy. I do point out destructive behaviors and toxic patterns in a very gentle and respectful way. I never take sides but am upfront with my feedback. One of the biggest enjoyments I have with my work is helping men and women navigate the dating world. I create effective and authentic dating profiles, advise on proper and appropriate communication with a romantic interest and train men and women of all ages on respectable, dating etiquette. So if dating is frustrating to you or you’re gaining little to no traction, I can help! Many clients (men and women) come to me feeling lost or “stuck” in life specifically with their career. I curate each strategy and process for each client to find a path they are passionate about- as one size does not fit all. I identify each client’s strengths and weaknesses, dig deep into the mental blocks that may be preventing one from moving forward, I help network my clients, teach tools and tricks to apply for jobs, aid in resume writing, interview preparation and how to effectively sell your skills and personality to land a fulfilling and sustainable career that you are passionate about.
