Private Practice Marketing
Marketing = expressing your soul into form
Marketing isn’t hard. What is hard is overcoming the belief that you shouldn’t be seen, that you are too quirky and witchy, that you don’t deserve to charge a lot of money.
Marketing is being honest with yourself about what kind of business you’d like to have, and what kind of person you’d like to be doing it. Then it’s about the courage to let the world in on that secret. It doesn’t require that you be conventional, polished, or doing hyperactive daily reels on Instagram. Authenticity is your most attractive asset. Clients pay me full fee while I’m wearing sweatshirts, twirling fidgets and cracking jokes (while doing serious therapy too!). Coming out of the broom closet as a witch means that I attract clients who have esoteric interests. You don’t have to dim your light or fit into a box - in fact, that’s what’s standing in the way of your fulfillment. Your people can’t find you if you don’t show your sense of humor or pop off about things you really care about. I teach you how to speak in ways that connect to your ideal client, with a Psychology Today profile and website copy that is aligned with your vision. It requires dropping the formality and just being human.
“Melissa is one of the most intuitive, understanding, honest, comforting and insightful therapists I know. It’s easy to have a feeling that she “gets it.” Her IFS training allows clients to have movement between sessions. I would highly recommend Melissa!”
~Anna Dziechowski, LCAT
IFS Consultation
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a magical modality for therapeutic transformation.
IFS taps into our spiritual nature to heal. Using guided visualization, clients connect to their full range of self-expression. They learn how to tap into their higher Self and release trauma through rituals incorporating the five elements. IFS integrates somatics and mindfulness to provide an embodied experience of spirituality - no spiritual bypassing! It’s an evidence based treatment derived from ancient wisdom, so you can work your magic within your scope of practice.
Connecting to your own Self energy gives you confidence and calm in uncharted therapeutic territory. IFS skills create empathic boundaries, and I bring in additional skills from my psychic training to help you with managing your energy. Showing clients how to get in touch with their intuition takes the pressure off of you needing to know everything. You are there as a guide, channel and space holder, and the work unfolds organically. Goodbye burnout, hello enchantment!
“Thank you for the amazing training. It was what I was hoping for to give my staff a broad overview regarding identifying adult children of narcissists, symptoms and expectations for treatment. I really appreciated the introduction to IFS for my staff and your use of self-disclosure and humor. My staff really appreciated the actionable learning to further their work with clients. Thank you for fitting in so much in a short period of time. Your energy and expertise was fabulous and so relatable.”

Consultation on Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Help your clients reclaim their power from narcissistic relationships.
Narcissistic abuse is insidious and under-recognized in our field. Narcissism is not just what is listed in the DSM-V, as it can present as vulnerable and covert. Survivors struggle with anxiety, depression, self-blame, and a disconnection from their needs and feelings, without clearly understanding the cause of their distress. They need guidance to discern the difference between abuse and love, and support to extricate their mind, body and soul from a manipulative and energetically draining relationship.
Treatment helps clients find their way out of the maze of gaslighting in order to rebuild their sense of self and reality. Through Internal Family Systems, clients are able to tap into their intuition to decide which boundaries are appropriate for them, while simultaneously getting in touch with their creativity, values and emotions. Clients transform subjugation into liberation, chronic confusion into unshakeable wisdom.
If you want to guide your clients out of the darkness into their power, please reach out to me. I have been trained by Dr. Ramani in narcissistic abuse recovery and by Dr. Lindsay Gibson in recovering from emotionally immature parents, and have had the privilege to lead trainings for other therapists on these topics. It is my great honor to teach what I know, what I have lived, and what I have survived, to help others discover that thriving is possible.
