Melissa Willard LMFT
Certified Narcissistic Abuse Clinician
Hi! I’m Melissa, and I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel to be dealing with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. Whether you are currently in a narcissistic relationship, ready to leave, feeling stuck, or have already left, I am here to help. Relief is possible, and I’m here to guide you through it. Reconnecting with yourself is the first step in reclaiming your power and your life.
The effects of narcissistic abuse can be incredibly complex, and not all therapists are trained to recognize the specific patterns of manipulation and control that come with it. That’s where I come in. As a therapist certified in narcissistic abuse recovery, I offer the expertise you need to truly heal and move forward.
If you’re ready to start your journey toward healing, I’d love to connect with you and support you in reclaiming your sense of self and well-being. Together, we’ll work through the pain and build a healthier, happier future.

Therapy Intensives for Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Have you ever felt like you’ve just started a session—just started touching on the pain, the manipulation, the confusion—only to glance at the clock and realize the hour is already up? Maybe you’ve spent most of your session talking about your abuser, and there wasn’t enough time left to talk about you—your healing, your story, your needs.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you may benefit from a different kind of support.
Therapy Intensives offer a focused, extended space where you don’t have to rush.
Instead of unpacking your experiences in 50-minute increments, intensives allow us to go deeper, faster, and more thoroughly—so you can begin processing the trauma and reclaiming your identity without the stop-start rhythm of weekly therapy.
Regular therapy provides valuable, consistent support and structure—especially for long-term growth. But if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like your healing is always being put on hold to manage the latest crisis your abuser has triggered, an intensive might be the catalyst you need to finally break free and move forward.
Still not sure which option is right for you?
Let’s talk. We can explore what you need most right now and design a path that supports your healing, at your pace.
