Melissa Legge

Many clients come into therapy feeling overwhelmed or unsure if it will truly help. They worry they should already be “further ahead”, and it can be difficult to see a clear path forward.

I use a holistic and individualized approach at every stage of therapy. I take time to understand each person’s unique experiences, needs, and goals, and tailor our work together to support their progress in a way that feels right for them.

I strive to create a warm, safe, and comfortable environment where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward at their own pace–with confidence and ease.
