Melissa Harrison
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“I help people increase peace, joy, freedom, and love in their lives through individual and couples therapy.”
About Me
I offer a supportive space for you to cultivate greater peace, joy, freedom, and love. In individual or couples therapy, we explore what holds you back. My approach helps clients seeking deeper connections and personal well-being. We work together to navigate challenges. This fosters a sense of calm and genuine happiness in your life and relationships. You’ll find a collaborative environment focused on your unique path.
Approach
My work centers on practical steps that expand your sense of freedom and deepen love and joy in daily life. In Santa Cruz or online in English, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—balancing mindfulness, gentle inquiry, and skill-building so you leave with something to try before we meet again. We notice shifts in relationships, transitions, anxiety, and trauma through brief experiments, reflection, and coaching-style tasks that honor your values and faith. Folks navigating life changes or relationship strain often find this hands-on, reflective rhythm helpful.
