Warm coastal California landscape at golden hour

Folsom, CA · In-person & Telehealth

You don't have to carry this alone.

Personalized therapy for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. In-person in Folsom, CA and telehealth throughout California.

How we work

Two clinicians. One shared commitment.

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Neil and Melissa bring different backgrounds, styles, and training to the same goal: helping you understand yourself better, trust yourself more, and build a life that actually feels like yours. Every person who walks through our door — or logs on — gets a thoughtful, personalized approach.

What we help with

Areas of focus

We work with adults facing a wide range of challenges. Whether you're processing something painful from the past or navigating something difficult right now, we'll meet you where you are.

Trauma & PTSD

Processing difficult experiences and reclaiming a sense of safety, stability, and self.

Anxiety

Understanding what's driving the worry, overthinking, or tension — and building real tools to work with it.

Grief & Loss

Making space for loss in all its forms, without rushing the process or minimizing the pain.

Life Transitions

Navigating change — career shifts, relationship changes, identity questions — with more clarity and confidence.

Substance Use Recovery

Supporting lasting change with compassion, accountability, and an understanding of what drives the patterns.

Available in-person in Folsom, CA and via telehealth throughout California.

LPCC

I work primarily with adults dealing with trauma, anxiety, grief, major life transitions, overthinking, and self-doubt. My style is warm, direct, curious, and usually a little irreverent — therapy should actually lead somewhere.
