Melissa Urrunaga

Therapist, LPC • Yoga Instructor

At times, life’s demands can leave us feeling like our best isn’t enough, even when we’re doing our best with the knowledge and resources we have. Whether it’s navigating relationships, school, work, or other pressures, it can be tough to stay connected to the light that shines within us. As a wellness practitioner, I want to help you nurture that light and let it shine brightly.

My approach is creative, empathetic, and trauma-informed, drawing from over 20 years of experience in both hospital and community settings. I offer both individual and group therapy to address a range of concerns, including self-esteem, life transitions, relationships, and symptom management.

In addition to therapy, I’m also a Registered Yoga Teacher. I believe that our emotions are stored in our bodies, and I use yoga, meditation, and movement to help release those emotions. Whether it’s a group class or a one-on-one session, yoga can be a powerful tool to support your emotional well-being.

If you’re looking for a safe and judgment-free space to explore and foster growth, I’d be honored to partner with you. I work to establish a safe and supportive environment where you can share your story and explore your strengths and challenges. Let’s connect and schedule a complimentary phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
