More about Melissa

  • 13 years' experience

  • Psychologist

Hi I’m Dr. Green and I’m a clinical psychologist, licensed in Georgia and Hawaii, with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have had the amazing opportunity of serving culturally and ethnically diverse people across the Washington, DC metropolitan area, as well as in the states of Georgia and Hawaii and on the islands of St. Thomas and St. John in the US Virgin Islands. These diverse counseling and consulting experiences have taught me a lot about honoring and respecting the unique contributions that everyone has to offer to our society. I have helped many people learn to embrace their distinctive cultural characteristics and use them as building blocks to self-discovery and self-acceptance to empower them to feel more confident in themselves.

My treatment is guided by the principles of positive psychology with a focus on helping clients to find ways to improve their quality of life by building on their character strengths. I also use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and therapies which have been found to be the most effective for individuals who have experienced a trauma, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy and Trauma Focused CBT.

I believe that you deserve to have the life that you want and love. I can help you build a life full of enjoyment and satisfaction and equip you with the tools to manage the stressors that come your way from time to time. Together we can create a more balanced and fulfilling life for you so let's get started today!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
