Melissa McAughty

My mission in counseling is to create a partnership with my clients and provide space for you to feel heard and supported. One of my most important roles as a counselor is to empower and encourage you by identifying your existing strengths, resources, and abilities. My goal is to help clients heal from their past and grow into their best selves. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, or relationship issues, I'll support you in finding strategies to overcome them. I consider it an honor and privilege to journey with clients in their quest for living a healthy and meaningful life.

My essential philosophy of counseling stems from a Christian worldview, with a belief that every person is valuable, unique, and created with a purpose. My clients have a variety of backgrounds and beliefs. I will always work to understand your story and incorporate your values and beliefs as resources. I am happy to work with clients from any faith background or none at all. I operate from a person-centered approach integrated with other methods, particularly Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
