IS STRESS TAKING OVER YOUR LIFE?

Healing Therapy for Women Ready to Feel Balanced and Joyful Again

Working in a high-stress career or supporting a partner who does can leave you feeling burned out, exhausted, and overwhelmed.

  • Are you struggling to keep up with the demands of work and home?

  • Do you often feel anxious, numb, or emotionally drained?

  • Are you longing to regain control and find joy again, even when your responsibilities won’t change?

It doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy can help!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress or trauma—whether you’re a healthcare professional, first responder, law enforcement officer’s spouse, or just trying to figure out how to make it all work—you’re not alone. It can feel like a lot to carry, day in and day out. You can’t always change your circumstances, but you can change how you respond and the support you receive.

Greenway Counseling offers you a compassionate space to understand your feelings, build resilience, and create lasting change.

ABOUT

Melissa Spicer, MS, LPCC

Hello, I’m Melissa, a down-to-earth, compassionate therapist for women who carry a lot (and still show up anyway).

As a licensed professional clinical counselor, I specialize in supporting Minnesota women navigating high-stress careers and demanding lifestyles.

Whether you’re in a demanding profession or just feeling overwhelmed by life, I help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can be real, say the hard stuff out loud, and take steps toward healing—one honest moment at a time.

  • The Greenway Counseling Difference

    “Melissa is a compassionate and skilled therapist who helped me through a difficult life transition. I was dealing with anxiety and depression, and her support made all the difference. She creates a safe, understanding space where I felt truly heard. I highly recommend her to any woman navigating change.”

  • The Greenway Counseling Difference

    "Being married to a police officer comes with a lot of silent stress like worrying, long nights, and the pressure to stay strong. Talking with Melissa was so helpful. She truly gets what it's like to be in this life. I finally had a place to process everything without judgment.”

  • The Greenway Counseling Difference

    "As a nurse, I’m used to putting everyone else first. I didn’t realize how much I was carrying. Working with Melissa gave me a safe space to finally breathe. She understands the burnout, grief, and pressure. I feel more grounded, present, and like myself again.”

  • The Greenway Counseling Difference

    “As a first responder, I was always hesitant to start therapy. But working with Melissa was one of the best things I’ve done. I was burned out, snappy, and running on caffeine and denial. Now, I actually breathe, sleep (mostly), and don’t feel as defeated after my shifts.”
