Melissa Borlie

I helped families rebuild their lives, after trauma and misfortune, while working for the State of Oklahoma for 20 years. In 2006, I returned to college earning a Master of Human Relations degree (specialty in Counseling) from the University of Oklahoma. I still help individuals, couples, and families rebuild their lives--it's just a different role. My perspective of therapy is that my client and I form a team from which we work together to achieve the goals established by the client.

I approach substance abuse from a 12-Step perspective while acknowledging there are many paths to sobriety. Every person must find what works best for them. I always encourage participation in a 12-Step program for the support and encouragement it offers, but will meet my client wherever they are in the recovery process.

I counsel with adults, teens, couples, and families regarding life problems such as: anger/stress management; addictions; cheating; grief and loss; depression and suicide prevention; anxiety and fears; and self-esteem building and empowerment.

I have always believed that every person has the ability to change and I try to be the spark that initiates that change.
