MELISSA SWITEK, LCMHC

As a therapist, Melissa brings a grounded, relational approach to her work—blending empathy, evidence-based practices, and a deep respect for each client’s unique story.

Whether a child is struggling with emotional regulation, self-confidence, or adjusting to a recent change, she offers effective strategies to help. With advanced certifications in play therapy and Equine Assisted Growth and Learning, Melissa provides unique opportunities for experiential learning and works to make counseling a fun, safe space for kids to grow
Melissa founded Vitality Family Therapy with a simple goal: to create a space where people feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for—because therapy should feel like a partnership, not a process.
