My name is Melissa Funk-Vega, MA, a master’s level therapist with over twenty years of experience supporting individuals and families. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. I believe deeply in the inherent goodness within every person and that we all navigate life using the experiences and tools we’ve gained along the way.

​

I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults, and as a parent of three myself, I understand the complexity, challenges, and beauty of parenting and family relationships. Whether you’re seeking support for your child, your family, or yourself, I’m here to help you break through barriers and move toward healing, growth, and understanding.

​

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings—from the fast-paced Emergency Room Crisis Department, to nurturing Child Residential Placements, to providing compassionate support through Family-Based In-Home Services and Crisis Hotlines. These experiences have shaped my belief that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have, and my therapeutic approach centers on meeting you exactly where you are.

​

My background includes empowering families to reconnect, offering crisis intervention, and supporting individuals and couples in outpatient settings as they explore their identities, their relationships, and the impact of their lived experiences. I’m committed to helping you develop personalized tools and insights that foster emotional resilience, stronger communication, and healthier connections.

​

If you’re seeking teen therapy, parenting support, Couples and marriage therapy, family therapy, or individual counseling, I’m here to walk alongside you and your loved ones with compassion, respect, and practical guidance.
