Welcome to Common Ground Counseling & Consulting
Professional Mental Health Therapy and Consulting Services
Meet Melissa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Trauma Therapist
I’m Melissa Kerekes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I provide trauma-informed therapy in a space that is respectful, compassionate, and collaborative. I work with individuals who want to feel more grounded, connected, and confident as they navigate life’s challenges, heal from past experiences, or move through important transitions.
​
Therapy with me honors your resilience and lived experience. Together, we move at a pace that feels right for you, building insight and practical tools that support emotional regulation, self-trust, and meaningful growth. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths and create the changes you want in your life.
​
If you’re considering therapy, know that support can be both empowering and transformative. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out and take the next step — on your terms.
