A Message From Our Founder, Melissa Divaris Thompson

As a holistic and depth-oriented therapist, I wanted to create a special practice that was grounded in community, connection and compassion. My goal is to support my clients in finding wholeness through mind, body and spirit and help them become who they long to be.

Melissa ensures that they have the right therapist for your needs from the start. Her compassionate approach enabled me to find the joy and courage needed to make positive decisions. I could not recommend her or her practice more highly.

Melissa and her associates are thoughtful and thorough therapists. I trust when I send clients to Melissa and her group that they will receive professional services that are individualized to the needs of the client.
