Melissa J. Villodas

Are you feeling frustrated or confused as to what to do next to support your child? Has something changed and they just don’t seem like them self lately? Maybe they are acting different or distancing them self, struggling at school, stressed by peer relationships, seem more irritable and angry, have low motivation. Are they struggling with regulating or coping with uncomfortable emotions? Perhaps they are coming out sideways: excessive worry, defiance, refusal, self-harm, eating struggles, anger, withdrawing. My goal is to provide a secure, safe, supportive space for you and your child to share, heal, grow and thrive. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families. I use a systemic holistic approach to create healthy connection. My clinical experience focuses on healing trauma, attachment, and relational wounds. I have specialized training in Family Centered Treatment, Trauma Informed Care, and EMDR. I focus on inviting change by doing the deep core work to alleviate the distress we all experience. I am passionate about supporting you and your child with identifying strengths, building resources, and living your authentic, true self. Finding the right therapist is important!
