Melissa Ann Lester, MS
Therapist Details
Hi there, I'm Melissa. I am a transpersonal psychotherapist, meditation teacher, energy healer, mentor, and guide. These are some of the sacred roles I hold in this lifetime. My approach with clients is integrative and trauma-informed - meeting at the convergence of transpersonal psychotherapy, mindfulness, embodiment practices, energy medicine, and shamanism. I believe the therapeutic relationship is fundamental for the deep healing that happens through compassion and curiosity. It is an honor to guide clients through their journey of healing, growth, and transformation so they may return home to their true essence and live a life more fully aligned.
I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling, have certifications as a Meditation Medicine Teacher and in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and am a Reiki Master. I have additional training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Polyvagal Theory, somatic psychotherapy, neuroscience & neurobiology, and psychedelic-assisted healing.
