More About Melissa

Melissa Hart, MA, LPCC-S, LMHC, LCADC --  Hello and thanks for stopping by!  My name is Melissa and I am so happy that you have taken the first step towards seeking counseling.  I know it’s not an easy decision to come to.  We tend to want to keep stuff to ourselves; especially our “problems”.  But, I want you to know that it’s okay to ask for help.  If anything, I think it takes a lot of courage to do so and I’m here to help you with whatever your issues are.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I specialize in working with individuals who have been dually diagnosed (mental health and addictions).  I enjoy helping individuals learn how to manage depression and/or anxiety and refrain from that knee jerk reaction to self-medicate with drugs and alcohol.  I understand all too well how easy it is to just want to escape into that bottle of alcohol or use a substance, to satisfy that need for instant gratification.  But, I want you to know that it’s never too late to get yourself back on track.  I would love the opportunity to work with you; provide you with the support and guidance needed to work towards your goal of living a happier, more fulfilled life.

In case you were wondering, I completed my Graduate Degree in Mental Health at Webster University in 2014.  I’ve worked primarily with the adult population in various levels of treatment.  I offer trauma-informed care.  I’m a very down to earth individual; who doesn’t have a problem calling you out on your stuff.  And I truly believe in meeting the client exactly where they are at.  If you’re ready to take that leap and make a change, give me a call or shoot me an email.  I would love to hear from you!!
