About me
Hello, I am Melissa Upton.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi. I am also a National Certified Counselor with NBCC. I received my Master's and Specialist's Degree from Mississippi State University in School Counseling. I have 14 years of experience in school counseling and 25 years of experience in the public school system in Mississippi. I have worked with adolescents for 25 years. I am looking to broaden my horizon and begin a new phase in my life with more one-on-one counseling. I have observed in the past 25 years, the need for counselors in everyone’s life.
I personally have had several failed relationships and have gone through counseling myself. I believe I have some "real-life" experience in this area with difficult relationships and can relate to you in your struggles.
I have learned that relationships are hard and they take a lot of work from both people at all times. When children are involved, whether they are from the original marriage or if they are step children, that is a part of the relationship. There will be struggles because there must be relationships with the children involved and that must be addressed.
My approach is cognitive-behavioral and client-centered.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Melissa Upton. 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.
Melissa Upton has been a great therapist for my husband and I. She has helped relieve the tension between our different parenting styles and knows exactly how children think. We've taken her advice and it has improved the lives of everyone in our household. She is great at checking in on us and I can tell she truly cares. Highly recommend!
