“Melissa made me feel comfortable right away. She gave me tasks for the week that felt doable and I felt like she actually listened. When I had a moment when I didn't know what to say, she kept talking through it with me. I really do appreciate her so far.”

Getting to know Melissa O'dell
Hi, I'm Melissa! Are you looking for guidance during a difficult time? Need assistance working through relationship issues? Want to find effective ways to manage anxiety and depression? I'm here to help! Working together, we can find ways to get you back on the right path and living your best life. I love watching people realize the strength they have to push forward and cope with all of life's ups and downs.
I treat each client as a unique individual who is the expert of their life. Together, we develop goals that address the areas where you need assistance and design a treatment plan that is most relevant to you. I am well versed in CBT, DBT, and ACT modalities and work with each client to identify what speaks to them and their needs.
I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively.
Reaching out was the first step in your journey. I can't wait to be part of your healing process!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Melissa has been wonderful to work with and extremely easy to talk to. So far she has helped me work through a lot of my emotions with action in my day to day life. I look forward to working with her in the future to build on what I now know
