About Melissa Patak

As a mental health counselor, I have worked with various populations focusing on issues of anxiety, depression, and trauma. My passion stems from my own experience of watching others struggle with mental health issues. After a long career in the legal field, I made the transition to counseling to help others who may also be struggling. I am here to provide support to you as you work towards emotional and mental wellness by helping you build on your strengths and introducing new skills through a collaborative relationship. If you are ready to explore a different way of being or are ready to make changes in your life, please contact me so we can get started. I would love to work with you on your journey to emotional and mental wellness!
