Melissa Nash, LPC

My name is Melissa, and I am here to support your journey in moving towards a more fulfilling, balanced life. I earned my B.A. in Dance Pre-Movement Science from Stockton University, and I love integrating my passion for creativity into my sessions. I also hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montclair State University. As a Licensed Associate Counselor with over 2 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate support for people of all ages in navigating the complexities of ADHD, autism, anxiety, BPD, depression, PTSD, substance use, and emotional regulation. My approach integrates DBT, CBT, ACT, solution-focused therapy with other evidence-based practices to empower clients in developing the skills they need to manage their emotions and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe in the importance of a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges and aspirations. I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative counselor and I encourage clients to explore the influence of their identities in their mental health. Together, we will collaborate to identify patterns, enhance coping strategies, challenge habits and cultivate mindfulness. Whether you are in the early stages of healing or seeking to enhance your existing skills, I am here to help you progress towards your mental health goals.
