Melissa Lester

Welcome! I specialize in working with women, using a combination of talk therapy and body-focused therapies. Some of my areas of expertise include Eating Disorders, LGBTQ++ Issues, Coming Out Later in life, Relationship Conflict, Anxiety, Depression, Stress and Trauma Resolution.
Some of the tools I use include Meditation and Mindfulness, EFT Tapping, Hypnosis and other neurologically effective trauma resolution methods. My extensive EFT Tapping Training has transformed my work as a Therapist. As you likely know by now, EFT is a rapid and effective tool with so many uses. I am an Advanced EFT Practitioner, and EFT Master Trainer.

On a more personal note, my own diverse cultural, religious and geographic experiences, as well as my proximity to chronic medical illness, chronic mental illness, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as other issues, has made working with a wide range of women very important to me. This includes women of all shapes, sizes, cultures, religions, abilities, disabilities, ages, races, sexual orientations, and occupational status.

I am happy to schedule a 20 minute phone consultation so that we may determine if working together feels like a good fit. Please reach out to me at 770-313-7768 or melissa@melissalesterlcsw.com.
