Melissa Nervick, MSED, LPCC
A little bit about me and why I might be able to support you…
I know that finding a therapist you really click with is super important. It's not just about degrees and letters after a name - it's about feeling comfortable and building trust. That said, I totally get why you'd want someone with the right skills and experience to help you out.
I've poured my heart into becoming the best therapist I can be. I’ve learned a lot in the many (so, so many) years I have worked with clients and … you better believe it…. on myself too! So yes, I’ve got the knowledge and skills but more importantly, I’ve clocked some serious hours learning that there is more to healing and creating change than what they tell you in a book.
