Healing & Growth
Your past is a chapter. Not the whole story.
When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers.
Meet Melissa
Melissa is a licensed therapist specializing in trauma, addiction, and mental health. With a Master’s Degree in Social Work and years of clinical experience, she integrates techniques such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and somatic approaches to provide personalized healing. Beyond her clinical practice, Melissa is an adjunct professor, a passionate advocate for gender equality, and a champion of women's empowerment. She believes that healing should not be fear-based but rooted in self-awareness and compassion. Her goal is to provide a safe space where women can rebuild their self-esteem, understand their emotions, and transform their lives with autonomy and confidence.
Therapist’s Journey
Since childhood, Melissa Persechini struggled with intense anxiety, often feeling out of place and invisible. As a teenager, her search for control led to a battle with eating disorders, while fear kept her life restricted. Her healing journey began when she explored therapy, support groups, and various therapeutic approaches. Though she encountered setbacks and challenges, each experience brought valuable insights.
Through dedication and gradual transformation, Melissa overcame her fears and found emotional balance. Today, she sees her story not as a burden but as a path that prepared her to help other women break free from destructive patterns and discover their own strength.
