About Me
Melissa Chana, MA, LPCC, is a trauma-informed therapist specializing in EMDR therapy for adults struggling with unresolved childhood trauma, anxiety, and persistent negative beliefs about themselves. She works with clients who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, emotional reactivity, or relationship difficulties despite years of personal growth or traditional therapy.
Her approach focuses on helping clients process the root memories and experiences stored in the brain and nervous system that continue to shape current beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. Through EMDR, Melissa helps clients resolve past trauma so they can experience greater emotional regulation, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
Melissa provides online virtual EMDR therapy for adults located in Colorado.
