Melissa Masterson Duva, PhD
Therapy with Me...
I help guide my patients through their most difficult challenges and view these times as opportunities for unprecedented growth,
development, and enlightenment.
Together, we'll draw upon your strengths and help you begin to make important changes that can create rapid and long-lasting
improvements in your life.


We'll explore the way you think, how you view yourself, others,
and the world.
We'll challenge the thoughts that aren't serving you and develop new ways of thinking to change your perception and approach to your life.
Through this work, you will find yourself able to move through that life with a lightness, a sense of meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity.
