Melissa Kucia, LSW
Therapist
I provide therapy for individuals and couples seeking greater clarity, balance, and connection in their lives. My approach is calm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and midlife challenges. In couples therapy, I integrate Gottman-informed techniques to support healthier communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional connection. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can explore patterns, build practical skills, and create meaningful, lasting growth.
