Hello, my name is Melissa Vega. I am passionate about allowing everyone to show up and share space with me however they are, right now. I believe that no one, inherently wants to engage in negative things and I think that we are all working with the tools that we have and the experiences that life has given and taught us. I am a master’s level therapist with over 20 + year’s experience in various settings within the mental health field. I like working with pre-teens, teens and adults. I believe that it is important to allow space for everyone to figure out what support and relationships mean at all ages.
I have worked in settings such as the Emergency Room Crisis Department, to Child Residential Placements, to Family Based In home settings and Crisis Hotlines. I know that we all are doing the best we can and I will support you where you are at in this moment of your journey.
I have vast experiences from working with families in their own homes to help them turn towards each other and come up with tools that work for them , to crisis intervention and case management, I have spent time in outpatient settings allowing individuals and couples find their own voices in relationships and how their own experiences shape them.
