About my Practice 

Melissa Jacobs is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Nationally Certified Counselor with expertise in working with and treating a variety of mental health illnesses. She uses her own personal and professional experience to benefit others and support them in their process of healing and recovery. She is drawn to practices such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Body Centered Psychotherapy, and mindfulness to help her clients build a healthy relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Melissa has experience working in residential treatment centers with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues and difficulties with emotion regulation. She uses a psychotherapeutic approach integrating neuroscience, trauma research, meditative practices and relational awareness for healing and wellbeing.

One of Melissa’s greatest joys in being a therapist is cultivating a trusting relationship with her clients, offering them a safe space where they can be vulnerable and explore buried, hurt parts of themselves, while being witness to the healing of wounds that drive unhealthy, harmful behaviors. Melissa’s goal is to create a safe and compassionate environment where her clients can begin to develop an appreciative, loving, and non-judgmental relationship with themselves.
