Melissa McCauley-Burow, LPC, LMHC

Melissa McCauley-Burow is a licensed mental health professional with 18 years of experience providing therapy. She holds the credentials LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and she is board certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors, a national credential that affirms advanced training and professional standards. Her background also includes reciprocal certification in drug and alcohol counseling in Missouri, certification as a clinical supervisor in Missouri, and training as a grief educator. She has worked across the lifespan and with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, and coping with life changes.

Melissa’s approach emphasizes meeting each person where they are and walking alongside them as they pursue greater well-being and a more fulfilling life. She draws from several evidence-based methods, including mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help regulate intense emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are combined with a client-centered stance that values each person’s experiences and goals.

Outside of her clinical work she practices mindfulness daily and enjoys writing and traveling. Her professional aim is to support meaningful change and resilience for the people she has worked with throughout her career.
