Our services.
Individual Therapy
Making changes in your family starts with you. As a trauma-aware licensed therapist, I can help you move through some of the hard you experience before and during parenting. Whether it is compassion fatigue, secondary trauma or just feeling your nervous system activated more often than not, let me help you work through this so you can be the healthiest and safest for your family.

“I was fortunate enough to be a part of a nurture group run by Melissa Pemberton. This was at a time where we were really struggling with attachment with one of our kiddos and were at a loss and very frustrated. I don’t know where we would be now if we hadn’t had Melissa to come alongside us. She helped us build attachment with our kiddo, learn how to handle tough moments in a way that brought connection as opposed to causing more distance, anger and hurt. She helped us see that behaviors are often coming from an unmet need and that if you could find what they were needing, you would build trust and see the behaviors lessen. Her nurture group was fun and playful and helped us all bond and we still use what we learned in her group every day in our home. If your family is feeling like you are at the end of your rope and are needing support, Melissa is the one for the job!”
