Melissa Dunlap, MA, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor who utilizes a client-centered approach to help individuals better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges. She works with individuals ages 5 and older and has a particular passion for working with adolescents and young adults.
Melissa specializes in working with anxiety, depression, and executive functioning difficulties, including challenges associated with ADHD. She also has a passion for working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and strives to create a welcoming, supportive, and affirming space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. In addition to individual therapy, Melissa also works with families to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and navigate challenges together.
Melissa believes that therapy is a collaborative process and that each person brings their own unique strengths and experiences to the therapeutic relationship. Her goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness, learn effective coping strategies, and feel more confident in managing the challenges they may be facing.
Melissa is available for both in-person and virtual appointments. Outside of therapy, she enjoys spending time with her plants and finds that caring for them is a great reminder of the importance of patience, consistency, and growth.
