Dear Melissa
Real questions. Thoughtful guidance.
Sometimes life leaves us with questions we don’t quite know how to ask, much less how to answer.
Dear Melissa is a place to explore some of those questions. Drawing from her experience as a therapist, Melissa shares thoughtful guidance on situations many people face, from relationships and anxiety to grief, boundaries, major life changes and the moments when you simply aren’t sure what to do next.
Each Dear Melissa post begins with a question or situation someone might find themselves facing, followed by Melissa’s perspective on how to understand what’s happening and begin moving forward.
Whether you’re considering therapy, working through something difficult or simply looking for a different perspective, we hope you’ll find something here that helps.
