THE GUEST HOUSE by Rumi
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Therapy with Melissa Cameron, LPC
Whether it is individually, as a couple, or as a family, we can meet to discuss any challenges, difficulties, or struggles that are negatively impacting your quality of life. As a therapist, I prioritize providing a safe and understanding space where we can use curiosity to explore challenges together. Additionally, I place a very high emphasis on personal safety and autonomy so that the experience is trauma-informed every step of the way.
Our sessions can be scheduled at intervals that work with your schedule and provide the best outcome in your life. Whether it is once a week or once a month, we can create a rhythmic pattern that helps facilitate the changes you are looking for at the pace you would like to go. Together, we can develop personal insight and awareness while also focusing on a sense of empowerment that can translate into a healthier daily experience
ABOUT ME
-
Thankfully, I have lived a full life and have a range of lived experience that I draw from as a therapist. My motto is "life is messy" and when we let go of what is supposed to happen and embrace what is happening, we find a new place inside of ourself that can guide us differently. Going back to graduate school in my mid-forties as a mother of four and business owner, I had a lot of life behind me that has humbled me and taught me that judgement of myself and others is detrimental to our growth. Although the path has been windy, I would not change what has happened because life has been my biggest teacher. The challenges that I have faced are invaluable in my role as a therapist, as it helps me know how to stay present in difficult situations with an open heart. Doing hard things is hard but doing them alone is excruciating. My personal journey with a therapist changed my life and I am dedicated to being that for others.
