About Us
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting! You've probably heard this before, but reaching out to seek help really is such a big step. Let's see if we're a good fit!
My name is Melissa Ludwig. I’m not a conventional therapist! Clients have told me they appreciate my authenticity, sarcasm and relatability, and I often use humor and pop culture references when appropriate as I feel this helps diffuse difficult topics and often enhances the therapeutic relationship. I tailor my work with clients to each client's specific needs and personality style.
I am licensed in Florida, South Carolina and Idaho, meaning I can see anyone who is physically located in any of these states during our sessions. In my free time I like to spend time with my animals (3 cats and 1 dog), go theme parks, do Lyra fitness, roller skate, and spend time with cherished friends and family.
I am a believer in human rights and welcome all genders, races, religions and lifestyles to my practice. I look forward to meeting you!
