Connection First Counseling
If you feel lost and overwhelmed we can help. Life doesn't always follow a fairytale storyline and disappointment from ups and downs can cause you to feel disconnected from life. Through therapy, there is always a way to address the issues you face and learn strategies to help you both right now and in the future.

Depression and anxiety in our society are at an all-time high but there's hope. In a recent study, 76% of Americans who sought counseling for support reported a positive experience. Melissa is a very caring counselor and I would recommend her to anyone who is going through a transition or tough time in life.
Services
Providing mental health counseling for adults of all ages dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and burnout related to life transitions (divorce, job changes, moving, family transitions, role changes), stress management, retirement and transition coaching, aging complications, chronic conditions, health changes, dementia support, caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, managing responsibilities, loss of purpose and direction, and grief support through death and loss.
Melissa Burton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience in both the clinical and facility setting. With her expertise in gerontology, she has worked with hundreds of families as they navigate the complications of aging, life transitions and loss. Her unique expertise in helping clients adjust to change has given her an understanding and compassion for clients struggling with life's setbacks and disappointments.
Not at all. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the courage to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. In our work together, I'll help you explore and identify your strengths and how to implement them to reduce the influence of the problems you are facing. The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally.
Connection First Counseling is an out-of-network provider, and we can provide you with the necessary documentation to file a claim with your insurance company. Depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan, it is possible for services to be covered in full or in part.
Could you use an expert opinion on what you're going through, or a non-judgemental ear just to listen? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you've been seeking. Individual therapy differs from group or alternative therapy methods in the way that you are the sole focus of a single therapist who helps you develop and achieve your goals for therapy.

Finding Melissa has been such a gift. Her natural ability to connect with others combines with her education/expertise... she's a heck of a find in a counselor. I highly recommend meeting with her to see if she's a good fit!
