Hi, I’m Melissa Jividen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing services via telehealth and in person in Palm Springs in English and Spanish. I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where my clients feel safe to explore their emotions, build resilience and grow.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s unique needs. I believe in creating a collaborative, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and empowered. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused interventions, I help my clients develop practical coping skills and strategies for lasting change.

I’ll also answer any questions you may have about the process. Together, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.
