Meet Melissa

Melissa Foster LISW-S (she/her)

Therapist & Co-Owner of Lotus Counseling Collective

As a Therapist, I believe that life’s greatest challenges are best healed in a safe environment. Maybe you’ve struggled with “getting over” a toxic relationship or managing everyday life stresses. As a professional maybe that run or call has been sticking with you longer than others or the people in your office have been setting you off more than typical. Or maybe you are tired of feeling like you don’t have your shit together. My work focuses on helping people overcome past and present hardships as well as creating the future they want. I believe in compassion, authenticity, skill, and a splash of humor.

I specialize in working with members of high stress, high stakes professions who struggle with stress, burn out, imposter syndrome, relationship troubles, perfectionism, avoidant and anxious attachment styles.

I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my practice- a tool for processing overwhelming, unsettling, or traumatic memories and other difficulties.

I offer both traditional 1:1 weekly/ bi-weekly therapy, intensive style therapy, group therapy, and online courses. It’s important to remember that you should feel like you "click" with your therapist. Please feel free to share anything that would make you feel more comfortable in my office space/on telehealth sessions.
