Melissa Fishell, LMFT, ATR-BC
Hello and welcome! Whether you’re returning to therapy or have never met with a therapist before, I want to acknowledge starting the process can sometimes be the hardest part. With that said, I’m so glad you’re here. As your therapist I will offer a welcoming, inclusive and safe space where you can focus on taking steps towards living a life that is more aligned to what is most important to you.
My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and DBT techniques and practices. I’m experienced with supporting children, adolescents, adults, families and couples with managing depression, anxiety, improving self-esteem, social skills and relationships, navigating life transitions, and healing through loss and grief. As a Board Certified Art Therapist, I offer a creative approach to offer ways to express oneself when words seem to fall short and the wonderful part is you do not need to have any artistic background or knowledge to benefit.
I earned my Bachelors in Arts in Psychology from California State University, Northridge. And earned a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and Masters in Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California.
I've been lucky to call Colorado my new home for the past three years now. When I'm not in the office I enjoy spending time with my two year old son, husband and two dogs. I enjoy baking, hiking, and doing creative projects with my son. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and If you feel that I could be a good fit for you. Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to connecting with you.
