I’m Melissa Brown, and I’ve been working as a therapist for over 25 years. In that time, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life’s toughest challenges—and watching them become the highest version of themselves.
My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and rooted in seeing each person as a whole—mind, body, and spirit. I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.
I specialize in helping clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, divorce, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain about the future, or simply ready to grow, I’m here to support you.
If you’re ready to heal, prioritize your emotional well-being, and take the next step toward the life you deserve, I’d love to work with you. Let’s begin your journey together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
