New videos every Sun & Wed! My name is Melissa, and I'm a licensed clinical therapist, social worker, & hold a Ph.D in Psych. I have years of experience helping individuals grow through therapy, with specializations in trauma, grief and loss. My goal on this channel is to bring a greater understanding of mental health to the masses and insight to those hoping to start a career in mental health with vlogs, LCSW test prep, & special topics. While this channel contains info about therapy and mental health, it is not intended to be a replacement for therapy.
