Melissa Kovatch, M.S., LPC - Counseling and Psychotherapy
I offer the encouragement, assistance & support needed to cope with your troubles & to reach your full potential. Challenges often present themselves as a means to push us to grow, & to edge us out of our comfort zones. Change, whether self-initiated or encountered due to the inevitable ups & downs of life, can be a scary process. Resistance to these changes - & to the emotions that arise - can render us stuck, stagnant, depressed, anxious, frustrated & lost, among other things. Therapy is an opportunity to discover your true self, wants & needs, & to learn the necessary skills to create your desired life & experiences.
I strive to create a unique relationship with each client, in which they feel free to be & express themselves. I value your individuality, creativity, & personal story. By encouraging you to uncover, feel & listen to the truth we all intuitively possess, you can understand how to trust yourself & make healthy decisions.
My greatest passion is helping those struggling with weight loss, weight management, & emotional eating. I have personal understanding & experience with this - with natural methods, I have lost 95 pounds, maintaining physical & emotional balance for many years.
