Are you struggling and feeling alone and misunderstood? Are you suffering from excessive worrying, or feeling like you have lost hope that things can get better? Maybe you feel that you are not the person you once were, and you want so much to get that person back. Sometimes we go through a period in our lives where we just need a little guidance to get back on our feet. You have already courageously taken the first step by seeking help and that takes strength! I am honored to be a part of this very important journey, to be your guide and companion in this healing process.
By building a trusting relationship, providing empathy, compassion, and support I help guide those in their journey to new life meaning. I ensure a safe non-judgmental space to work through past traumas and overcome barriers. You can count on my empathetic and person centered approach towards every conversation we take part in.

"Healing takes courage, and we all have courage even if we have to dig a little to find it." - Tori Amos
"Everyone needs a little help sometimes just to gain new perspectives and see things in a new light, to unlearn unhealthy ways of thinking or habits, to process things in order to heal, so that we can uncover our true selves that exist beneath the hurt, and find peace and happiness once again. I'm here to help those who want it, to find the courage to change and to heal." -Melissa Wergland
Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have been seeing Melissa for over a year now and she is one of the most incredible therapists I have ever worked with. I have worked with a few other therapists in the past, but Melissa has been able to reach the roots of my issues and help me overcome many of my anxieties, fears, and insecurities. I went through something very traumatic in the past year and were it not for speaking with Melissa and utilizing the strategies that she taught me, I would not be here today. Our sessions and the tools that she taught me have helped me become the most confident and secure version of myself, which I never thought was possible. I am truly grateful for our sessions and her continued guidance. -RJ less then one year ago
