Melissa Harbison
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MA, LPCC
About
My number-one goal as a therapist is to offer a safe environment where you can share openly, be understood, and not be judged. I've done therapy myself, and I know you can get better faster if you're open and honest. Everything we do will be collaborative, but I also provide tough love. In the end, I'm that older sibling who taught you life isn't rainbows and butterflies all the time, providing you with a sense of humor and ways to confront anxiety without compulsions. OCD therapy may seem scary, but in the end, it is so worth it.

After 7 dedicated months of ERP therapy with Melissa, I have hit maintenance (which is really good). She is a huge help, very kind and understanding and fun! Melissa also has expertise in PTSD treatment which has helped me overcome my childhood trauma.
