Hi, I’m Melissa Jividen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive space where my clients feel safe to explore their emotions, build resilience, and grow. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish to ensure that more people can access the care they need.

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 specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with:

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you and understand what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your experiences, concerns, and goals for treatment. 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.
