Melissa Ciappetta, M.A., MFT

Melissa is one of the few mental health providers who are able to develop balance between individualized treatment and common practice. I’ve always found our decisions, plan of treatment, and plan of correction for that matter was always aligned. She is up front and honest, but also empathetic and genuinely concerned for the safety and self care of others. She is easy to work with as a provider and can adapt to any discipline involved. I typically find myself being more honest than I intend to, which in return has always worked for me since Melissa is able to think beyond the barriers of traditional mental health practice. Her leadership style reminds me of the phrase «If there’s a will, there’s a way.»

Melissa was a guest on my show Small Business Forum Radio and offered some wonderful tips to my listeners on depression and handling stress. I’m looking forward to working with her on future projects. To hear her tips, be sure to go to
