Hello

I'm Melissa "Missy" Blackmer, and I've been a mental health counselor since 2011. My journey in this field began with a background as a high school guidance counselor, but my passion for helping people navigate the complexities of their mental well-being led me to specialize in mental health counseling.

My Story

Professional Licenses

In the state of Indiana, I hold the titles of Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I've also earned certification in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), demonstrating my commitment to addressing the unique needs of individuals who have experienced trauma.

​

My Career

I've had the privilege of working in various roles, both as a therapist and as a clinical supervisor, at institutions like Park Center, Meridian Health Services, Lifeline, and Easterseals ARC of Northeast Indiana. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the diverse challenges individuals face in their quest for mental well-being.

The Mental Health Chick: Coaching and Consulting

In addition to my counseling practice, I am also the owner of "The Mental Health Chick." This is more than just a business; it's a platform dedicated to providing mental health education, transformative courses, comprehensive training, and motivational speaking services.

​

Specializations

My passion lies in helping women overcome anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma-related challenges. I also work with parents, teenagers, and young adults dealing with issues such as behavior disorders, anxiety, depression, developmental disorders, and the challenges of life transitions. For those who seek faith-based counseling, I'm more than happy to integrate your spiritual beliefs into our therapeutic journey.

​

The Personal Side

Outside of my professional life, I'm a wife and mom to our two teenage boys.  We are a dog loving home and have a poodle and a boston terrier. I'm pretty unashamedly a boston terrier fanatic!  In my free time, I cherish moments with my family, contribute my talents to the worship team at my local church, and indulge in the world of audiobooks.
