Meeting You Right Where You Are.
Hi, I’m Melissa Gendreau, MS, LMHC, NCC.
Seeking support can feel overwhelming, whether you’re navigating personal challenges or growing in your work as a mental health professional. I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity.
I’m an independently licensed mental health counselor in Iowa with over 16 years of experience. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and informed by a Christian perspective. I focus on helping clients develop practical tools and clarity as they work toward meaningful change.
In addition to therapy, I offer clinical supervision and consultation for mental health professionals.
What I Offer
I provide practical, compassionate support through therapy, clinical supervision, and consultation.
Clinical Therapy
I offer therapy from a Christian perspective, grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), while exploring and understanding family dynamics. My approach focuses on helping clients develop practical tools, gain clarity, and work toward meaningful change in their lives.
Clinical Supervision
I provide clinical supervision for pre-licensed mental health counselors working toward independent licensure. My approach is developmental and collaborative, with an emphasis on clinical competence, ethical practice, and thoughtful integration of faith when desired and appropriate.
Consultation
I offer consultation for licensed mental health professionals who want to integrate their Christian faith into their clinical work in a way that feels both authentic and ethically sound. I help counselors thoughtfully navigate the tension between personal faith and professional ethics while maintaining clinical integrity and strong boundaries.
