“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.

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 & grounded self-trust.

You deserve healing that honors every part of who you are. I am so glad you are here.

If any of this resonates, Rebellious Wellness might be the space for you:

Part of you knows you are seeking therapy because the people in your life who needed it most never went

Patterns or themes keep repeating in your relationships and it feels like it’s time for something to shift

You had to learn to read the room before learning how to read yourself

Therapy hasn’t quite worked in the way you needed, leaving you feeling unseen or stuck

You feel things deeply or are drawn to expanding your intuition

You aren’t interested in being told who you are or how to live your life: you want space to figure that out for yourself, on your own terms


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