Melissa Melzer, LPC - Therapy - Clarity Clinic, Chicago IL

Choosing to begin therapy can be a difficult decision. You might feel you should be able to solve your own problems. How can you make progress when you don’t know where to start? I provide a safe, judgment-free space for my clients. I am committed to providing clients with a culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+, supportive environment.
Many people have a trauma history. Trauma is unique to the individual and their life experiences. In therapy, acknowledging and processing one's trauma can lead to growth, healing, and a better understanding of one's personal strengths. I build a therapeutic relationship using direct communication and humor. Therapy can include laughter. I use an integrative therapeutic approach that focuses on a client’s emotional, physical, and mental health. I utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused and psychodynamic modalities.
