Melissa Graham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania and a Mental Performance Consultant (MPC). She comes to us from Temple University, where she works in the athletic department as a counselor for the student-athletes. She provides mental health and mental performance services to individual athletes, as well as a handful of Temple Athletics teams.

Melissa earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Towson University, where she also competed as a cross-country and track and field athlete. She later earned her master’s degree in counseling psychology from Temple University.

While Melissa specializes in supporting college-age athletes, she also works with clients of all ages and backgrounds. She has experience working with individuals with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, interpersonal challenges, identity development, as well as mental performance challenges. Melissa takes a holistic, wellness-based approach to therapy, addressing the whole person. Her primary treatment modalities include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT). In sessions with Melissa, clients develop practical coping strategies and work to shift unhelpful thought patterns. Her goal is not only to alleviate symptoms but to empower clients to grow, thrive, and become the best version of themselves.
