about your therapist

Melissa rolfes, lpc

I have been working in the mental health field for over a decade, and have a wide range of clinical experience, including hospital, community health, and private practice settings.

I’m most effective working with adults who are struggling with anxiety, mood, grief, relationship issues, high stress, life transitions, and existential concerns.

My style is compassionate, affirming, and direct. I’ll meet you where you are with positive regard, non-judgement, and genuine curiosity, and tailor your care to your unique needs.
