HEALING WITH MELISSA SPEVAK




WELCOME
Love, Light, and Healing
I’m a therapist specializing in Somatic Experiencing and supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. With over 20 years of experience, I offer a safe, compassionate space for youth, adults, and families, particularly those who are neurodivergent and/or queer. I work with individuals to help heal from trauma, improve self-awareness, and develop healthy relationships with themselves and others.
​
Who I Work With:
-
Youth and adults from neurodivergent and LGBTQ2S1+ communities
-
Individuals navigating trauma, including developmental trauma and complex PTSD
-
Folks experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or struggling with life transitions (such as gender or identity transitions)
-
Families seeking to improve communication, connection, and understanding
-
Those looking to cultivate a better relationship with their nervous system
I integrate Somatic Experiencing, a trauma-informed therapeutic modality, to help individuals process past experiences and regulate their nervous systems. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, increase self-awareness, and find empowerment in how you relate to your body, mind, and emotions. My approach is grounded in empathy, and I draw on both my extensive training and personal lived experience to provide culturally sensitive, affirming care for neurodivergent and queer folx.
What I Offer:
-
Individual therapy (youth and adults)
-
Family therapy and systems support
-
Help with trauma recovery and emotional regulation
-
Support for queer and neurodivergent individuals navigating self-identity, relationships, and personal growth
-
Therapeutic guidance around issues of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions
I bring over two decades of experience working with LGBTQ2S1+ communities in both mental health and community settings. My work is informed by a deep commitment to inclusion, respect for your unique journey, and an unwavering belief in your capacity for growth. Whether you're dealing with the aftereffects of trauma, navigating life’s transitions, or seeking to deepen your connection with yourself, I am here to support you.
​
My practice has recently expanded to full-time, so I currently have no waitlist. I am able to direct bill most insurance providers.
​
If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’d be honored to support you.
