About Me

Hi, I’m Melissa Zartar, a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices to support meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered in your personal growth journey. Welcome, and thank you for taking this important step toward your well-being. In therapy, you can expect a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where we will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My goal is to support you in understanding yourself more deeply, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Therapy is a process, it may involve both challenging moments and meaningful insights, but we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. Your experiences and goals will guide our work together, and I’m here to walk alongside you in that journey. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting your growth. As a therapist, my focus is on helping clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma using a blend of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can feel understood, gain new perspectives, and develop tools to thrive both in and outside of therapy.

Treatment Methods

Humanistic

Solution-Focused

An evidence-informed therapeutic approach used by our providers. Ask your therapist how they integrate this method into your work together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress — then build skills to interrupt and change them. Highly effective and well-researched.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, navigating relationships, and tolerating distress. Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, now used broadly for emotional regulation.

Eclectic

An evidence-informed therapeutic approach used by our providers. Ask your therapist how they integrate this method into your work together.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based approaches build present-moment awareness and a kinder relationship with your own thoughts. Often integrated with CBT or used as a standalone practice for anxiety and depression.

Note: Each session is 60 minutes, whether it’s your first consult or an ongoing visit.

About

There are circumstances in life that can prevent people from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Regardless of the reason, I believe therapy is a powerful and beneficial tool for healing and personal growth, and I'm here to offer guidance and support throughout the process. My approach is tailored to the unique need of each individual, and often involves fostering insight and awareness, identifying strengths, and building resilience, as well as disrupting systematic patterns and challenging negative core beliefs, all within a safe, encouraging, non-judgmental environment.
