Melissa Deeken, LMCHA
Psychotherapist
(she/her)
I’m a believer that we only know what we know. Often we come to therapy beginning with an awareness of the conflicts arising within ourselves or in our relationships with those around us. Only when we brave the path of discovering what lies under the surface of this discomfort can we learn to exhale and move differently. Doing the work of emotional healing and growth requires a vulnerability and courage that necessitates a kind and safe space to be held. Therapy can be that. A compassionate witness and committed companion to your life - to what was, what is and what daringly can be.
I bring kind and honest presence to this work with you. I have had the beautiful honor of working with a spectrum of human experiences, trauma points, ages and identities as a social worker for 15 years turned psychotherapist. I believe in the human body and spirit to heal and overcome, to flourish and find meaning, all a work towards collective liberation.
Making space to explore your shadows and stories is sticky and messy and boldly beautiful. I love this work and believe in it wholeheartedly. Together we can make movement towards the desires you hold tenderly within you and the continuedness of your becoming.
