Hi! I’m Melissa Wurster I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon. I decided to become a counselor after my family experienced trauma. Therapy helped me gain insight, process challenging times, and develop more adaptive behavior patterns. Positive experiences in therapy increased my desire to become a counselor myself. I am qualified through education, supervised practice, and personal experience to help others through challenging and/or confusing times. I specialize in helping children and teens that experience trauma, depression, anxiety, and/or gender identity concerns. My expertise also includes supporting parenting skill development and strengthening family relationships. I come from a client-centered, trauma-informed perspective using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing treatment techniques. I am a LGBTQIA2 affirming therapist. Collaboration is important to me and therefore, I am transparent with techniques I use and encourage feedback from all clients. Therapy can be a challenging process and I will provide the safety, guidance, and reassurance at the level you need in order to live a happier and healthier life. https://www.counselingwithmelissaoregon.com/services daily 0.75 2023-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a129e531d6f74e1558eba1/1658027060017-2CNK9Y4U2ULU7IHBC0K6/two+empty+chairs.jpg Services - Individual Therapy I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. We will create goals according to the individual’s concerns as well as caregiver’s concerns, if a child or adolescent is the identified client. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a129e531d6f74e1558eba1/1658027131739-YKEHO0D1XXPJ0BBJOGSS/groups+of+people+in+park.jpg Services - Family Therapy Family therapy involves two or more members. For example, this may be a parent and child, two siblings, or grandparents and grandchildren. I will support each individual’s voice within the group and encourage change to more adaptive relational patterns. https://www.counselingwithmelissaoregon.com/pmto daily 0.75 2022-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Parent Management Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Parent Management Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Parent Management Training https://www.counselingwithmelissaoregon.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a129e531d6f74e1558eba1/1655164055421-53ML04CIYZTXC3NZY1G1/ocean+life.jpg Contact - Contact Me.
