A Comprehensive Range of Services

A key feature of Melissa Preece’s practice is the range of therapeutic modalities available. All-in-all each service is designed to assist clients with overcoming barriers, processing pain, & imagining a healthier more balanced version of themselves.

1. Person-Centered Therapy

Melissa’s practice is rooted in person-centered therapy. Such an approach gives more power to the client, allowing them to direct the therapeutic process.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is also one of the most establishing go-to therapy for mental illness due to its efficacy with anxiety, depression, and even trauma symptoms.

3. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Like CBT, which can be used for anyone struggling to manage their emotions or have constant fighting with loved ones, DBT also offers tools to soothe yourself, be present, and keep your balance from day to day.

4. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is an especially great therapy for trauma survivors that want to process and move beyond difficult memories.

5. Solution-Focused Therapy

Life can throw you some curveballs that seem impossible to cross—but when you think of problems versus solutions, it can help to shift the focus.

6. Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing can have significant insight and encouragement through those individuals who are struggling with ambiguity or resistance.
