Hi!  I’m Melissa Snyder, Licensed Professional Counselor.  My experiences in both clinic settings and private practice have provided opportunities to counsel a diverse population of children, teens and adults.  In my counseling, I strive to create an understanding, supportive environment in which people have the opportunity to process their difficulties and generate solutions.  I specialize in life adjustment, stress management, trauma recovery, parenting, post-adoption issues and spiritual integration.  I am certified in the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). 

     I aspire to balance understanding and validation along with feedback and skills for change. I value the integration of faith and spirituality into the healing process.  In my work, I incorporate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques in order to assist clients in self-understanding, emotional regulation and resolving life problems.
