Community reflections
“Melissa has offered case consultations that are personalized, safe, and holistic. As a Social Worker and Healer, Melissa offers unique insights and perspectives into individual and collective intersectionalities. By weaving in spirituality and healing into her practice, Melissa fosters exploration and reflection in a manner that stretches well beyond traditional case consultations.”
-Maria Duda LCSW, RYT-200
“I utilized Melissa’s private practice set up support services to great benefit. Melissa provided a comprehensive, step by step guide to setting up a practice. She reviewed the progressive steps required, as well as made suggestions for tasks to work on along the way while awaiting credentialing responses and NPI approvals. She assesses your unique needs, your practice niche, and provides suggestions for resources to provide more hands on support, i.e. with credentialing, and gives pointers on marketing, EMR systems, and how to most effectively organize your process. She also was a great accountability partner, checking in and providing encouragement along the way to break down what initially felt like an overwhelming process into a very reachable goal. I highly recommend her private practice set up concierge services.”
Emily Foster, LCSW
“Melissa was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process of setting up my private practice. She not only walked me through each step, but also regularly checked in to see how I was feeling along the way. Her support and guidance gave me the confidence to help other colleagues launch their own practices as well. Even after everything was up and running, Melissa remained available to answer my questions and offer continued support. I’m so grateful for her expertise and care.”
