About me

I am a therapist, LPC, licensed in Missouri with over 10 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance abuse and addiction, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, etc. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I personally don't believe that I have to wear a dress or suit to make a good first impression. I am a regular person, like everyone else, who just happens to have educational and professional experience in the therapy career field. I would like my clients to feel safe and comfortable speaking with me. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindful, and person-centered therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Teasley. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

I love our therapist so much! So has been so helpful and a great listener.

What I would like to see change with Betterhelps system is to allow for 3 person/way calling. Not all couples live together. Other than this technical issue and oversight we have loved this and look forward to our sessions.

I definitely clicked the wrong options on the first several questions for the survey I just took due to misreading BUT Melissa is an exceptional therapist and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Melissa has been excellent through this whole process. She responds quickly, is very supportive and helps my partner and I to identify problems and shows us solutions we can work together on to fix them. I highly recommend her to anyone needing some aid, advice, and guidance.
