Mellissa Horton(She/Her/Hers)

Mellissa specializes in helping high-achieving professionals, deep thinkers, and those who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and perfectionism. Her clients are often the ones who appear to have it all together, successful in their careers and the go-to person for everyone else. But beneath the surface, they struggle with overthinking, emotional exhaustion, and a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. Whether they’re navigating past trauma, self-doubt, or simply trying to break free from patterns that no longer serve them, Mellissa provides a space where they can let go of the pressure and focus on their own healing.

Her approach is warm, down-to-earth, and deeply rooted in creating real mindset shifts. She blends person-centered therapy with CBT, trauma-informed care, and practical strategies that help clients not just understand their struggles but actively work through them. She also integrates elements of mindfulness and spirituality for those open to it, helping clients connect with their deeper selves in a way that feels natural and empowering. Therapy with Mellissa is a collaborative process, it’s not about just talking; it’s about finding clarity, making meaningful changes and stepping into a more fulfilling life.

With years of experience, Mellissa has built a reputation for making therapy feel both approachable and impactful. She has a knack for making clients feel safe, seen, and understood, allowing them to be fully honest without fear of judgment. She works best with individuals who are ready to explore their inner world, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and take actionable steps toward the life they truly want.

Mellissa offers virtual therapy sessions for clients in North Carolina, providing a flexible and comfortable space for deep personal work. She sees clients Monday through Thursday in the morning and early afternoon, making therapy accessible to busy professionals who want to prioritize their mental health without disrupting their schedules.
