“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

Rebellious Wellness is where healing means unbecoming who you had to be and becoming who you authentically are.

Hi! I’m Melissa Anderson and I specialize in counseling for adults who are ready to rebel against the systems or expectations that no longer fit, so they can create lives rooted in peaceful authenticity & self-trust.

You deserve healing that honors every part of who you are.

I am so glad you are here.

For the ones who have always had to hold it together:

To the outside world it might look like you have everything put together. Maybe you are the one others can always count on, or the one who keeps things moving even when you’re already drowning. On the inside, you might be carrying worry, self-doubt or the constant fear of letting someone down. Somewhere along the way you have had to learn how to hold it all in even when you needed support too. If this resonates, you are not alone. 

Therapy can be a space where you do not have to keep doing that alone. Together, we can gently untangle whatever has been weighing on you and make room for a life that feels more aligned, supported & true to who you are. You deserve more than just getting by.

“When we start to love ourselves enough to heal, we become dangerous to the systems that bank on our brokenness.” -Sonya Renee Taylor
