tools

I believe that change occurs when clients are given the guidance and tools they need to utilize their own strengths, realize and leverage their own potential to live fulfilling, happy lives. We all have our story, we all have the ability to grow, learn and change.

Environment

I provide an environment of compassion so you can honestly evaluate where you are and where you want to go…with the ability to unfold the past if needed and re-focus on the present.

holistic

I believe in a holistic approach of mindfulness/meditation, exercise and nutrition in conjunction with interventions to foster emotional strength and lasting change. Making healthy choices for the mind and body are equally important in wellness.

teletherapy

Teletherapy, video or phone counseling is the use of technology for remote mental health care.  It is an alternative to traditional office appointments to help ease the burden of our fast paced world.  Teletherapy helps to meet the needs of those clients who are unable to schedule appointments in the office. 

Here are some teletherapy benefits: 

  • offers more flexibility in your schedule 
  • allows you to be in the privacy of  your own home or office
  •  reduces the commuting time
  • offers access for college students or frequent business travelers 
  • communication is streamlined as appointments are scheduled online and sent to calendars digitally (just takes human error out of scheduling) 
  • improves timeliness for all as we log in from our desks 
  • also used in conjunction with office appointments, alternating appointments in and out of the office. 

If your interested in scheduling a new teletherapy consultation with JaxBch Counseling (please click here).

We love Ms Melissa and everyone at Jax BCH Counseling. Our daughter has been with Ms Melissa for years. It is wonderful to have an established relationship with a practice we trust! Our daughter has benefitted greatly.
Melissa has been an outstanding therapist, helping me to overcome insecurities and putting me on a sure footing. She has helped me tremendously navigating my unhealthy marriage. I wish she took my insurance, but she is worth it!
My therapist is Melissa. I'm so happy I found her. Among her many attributes, she doesnt sugar coat the issues. This has led to the most significant healing in my life. I feel truly blessed to have her in my life.
