Melissa Riddle

Therapist
LPC

Therapy is exercise for the mind; your path to emotional health and wellbeing. Life can be difficult and each of us is a unique human being with our own experiences, we seek connection and understanding. Melissa completed her undergraduate degree at Rockhurst University and her graduate in Counseling Psychology at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. She has over 20 years’ experience working in inpatient, outpatient, and virtual telehealth platforms providing mental health services. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR trained therapist she works with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship issues. Her nonjudgmental therapeutic approach will allow you will feel "heard", your pain and struggles acknowledged, your strengths identified, coping skills developed, and lead the healing process. Her work often reflects different theoretical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Therapy, and Solution focused Therapy. EMDR trained to guide clients through healing from trauma and decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Within the therapy platform we will develop client directed goals, identify past barriers, practice new skills to support mental health and decision making, and encourage client confidence. I look forward to working towards better emotional and mental health by supporting and guiding clients as they navigate life's challenges.
