about

Melissa Watson, MA, LMHC, ATR


I got into this field because I care about people and have experienced first hand the healing effects of counseling. 

My own experiences of therapy along with 25+ years of yoga & meditation practice inform my work and  have deepened my ability to be present and hold a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and registered art therapist (ATR).  I am trained in counseling & art therapy through Antioch University. I am also trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) through EMDR Consulting. 

In my free time I enjoy time in nature, art-making, paddle boarding, and taking time to just be with my spouse and feline companions Woogie and Coco.
