About Melissa Wooden

I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Virginia with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorder, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced issues with substance addiction. My counseling style is warm, non-judgmental, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My therapeutic style consists of helping you gain insight and the necessary tools to help you make positive change in your life. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
