About

Hello, my name is Melissa Spragg and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. I have been providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents, adults, and families for 17 years. I am dedicated to developing a safe, nurturing relationship with my clients who may be experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, or transitions in life. I have also worked with children and adolescents who struggle with behavioral challenges, including Conduct Disorders.

My therapeutic approach is humanistic and client centered and I aim to join with my clients on their journey towards healing, empowerment, and the ever constant process of growing and evolving into the best versions of ourselves. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and the client is a key factor in the healing process, and my approach will be tailored to the specific needs of each client. I offer each client warmth, empathy, compassion, and validation, and will work collaboratively towards the goals we develop together.

You have taken the first step in seeking support for your journey towards healing, which demonstrates courage. We can do this together. I am passionate about this work and I love working with all different people who are each on their own life path. I look forward to working with you!
