Welcome

It's Nice To Meet You!

Hi, my name is Melissa Watts and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri. A few fun facts about me: I own a husky and a calico, my husband is my best friend, and park days in the spring and summer are my happy place. I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift songs and catching up on the latest Grey's Anatomy episode. I am a foster parent and enjoy providing a safe place for kids and teens on a short-term basis. Above all, I love being a therapist and I am honored that my clients allow me a sneak peak into their inner world. 

​

Experience 

I have been a practicing clinician for 5 years and have worked in a variety of settings including an alternative school, child and adult psychiatric units, private practices, and substance abuse and recovery. Throughout my career, I have connected with many individuals who felt life was overwhelming and needed more support for their mental health. I enjoy working with teenagers and young adults who are learning their place and purpose in life, but may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, suicidal ideation, college stressors, and boundaries in personal and professional relationships. With this in mind, I began the journey to start my own private practice: Sunflower Therapy Services.

Let's Schedule

The sunflower to me has always been a sign of love, hope, promise, and joy. With this in mind, my mission in my practice is to bring more of these emotions to my client's lives.   Contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation to learn more!
