Melissa Ellis, LMSW

Licensed Master Social Worker

Melissa brings a practical, grounded approach to her work with teens, adults, and military and veteran families. Her background in social work gives her a broad perspective on how life circumstances, environment, and relationships shape a person’s mental health—and how building real, usable coping skills can make an immediate difference.

Whether she’s working with a teen managing school stress, an adult navigating a major life change, or a military family dealing with deployment or transition, Melissa focuses on what’s practical and what actually works. Her sessions are collaborative, direct, and built around helping clients feel more capable and regulated day to day.
