Melisha has evening and Saturday availability for new and existing clients! Melisha sees individuals for self-empowerment, trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, and depression. As well as relationship issues-such as conflict, abandonment, and painful break-ups. I provide a warm and welcoming environment for individuals and couples to find hope to overcome their life difficulties that have brought them to counselling. Are you ready to fight for your relationship instead of fighting against each other? Are you wanting to become a better version of you? Call today and book your session with Melisha. Learn to love yourself and thrive in life!
I work with couples to build connection and health, to increase emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy, to manage conflict, and to learn how to prioritize your relationship. I provide support for individuals who struggle with grief and loss, perinatal loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, finding life purpose, life transitions, and much more.
My practice focuses on building self-esteem, overcoming relationship struggles, managing shame and guilt, and healing through grief and loss. Let me help you believe in yourself, empower yourself, and heal from the pain that is keeping you stuck. Let me help you step into the life you long for.
Take the first step to help. Call or Melisha Franks now - (587) 570-4641
