Hi! I'm Melissa Roach, LPCA
I aspire to complete my visual art degree and pursue licensure as an Art Therapist. After work, I unwind by immersing myself in true crime podcasts, audiobooks, or the latest TikTok trends. I have a passion for astrology and enjoy delving into the intricacies of different signs. Engaging in deep discussions, whether about conspiracy theories or any topic, sparks my curiosity. I have an extended background working with children and their families.

Melissa's Purpose Statement: Unveiling Her "Why" as a Therapist
My path to becoming a therapist was a bit longer than most. I changed my major and got 2 master's degrees in other subjects and had a career as a Childcare Director before going back to finally become a therapist. I went back to school wanting to be able to help the children that I worked with in more profound ways. I also wanted to help women and young girls, like myself, who might have been living in physically or emotionally abusive environments or relationships. I wanted to be able to help people live in healthy environments and understand that they are all deserving of love and support. -Melissa Roach, LPCA

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at my Experience as a Therapist
I find expressive therapies immensely gratifying as they offer clients a diverse array of avenues for self-expression. Through art, poetry, music, movement, and literature, individuals can convey and process their emotions in ways that feel most natural and effective to them. This personalized approach ensures each client can comfortably explore and navigate their inner world, fostering a productive therapeutic journey. -Melissa Roach, LPCA
A Memorable Success Story
Witnessing a client successfully achieve her treatment plan goals and graduate from therapy was incredibly rewarding. Her heartfelt gratitude, thanking me for empowering her to muster the courage to transform her life, filled me with immense joy. Knowing that my everyday work enables people to realize their aspirations is truly the most fulfilling feeling in the world. -Melissa
Maintaining Balance: How I Prioritize Well-Being to Serve Clients, Myself, and My Family
I make a conscious effort to leave work at the office and focus on relaxation and quality time with my pets, family, and friends during the weekends. Sharing a profound affection for animals, I am blessed to share my home with two dogs and two cats. -Melissa, LPCA
