Our mission is to help others and to elicit the authentic you, the authentic you that is powerful, strong, and confident. Therapy and life coaching are a way of life not a quick fix to a problem. It is a long-term commitment to better oneself through consistent hard work that slowly gains benefits that far outweighs the drawbacks. For us, therapy and life coaching isn’t about getting from the beginning to the end. They are something that we see as a new way of life that includes having someone (that’s us) in your head reminding you of how awesome you really are, how you DO HAVE what it takes, you are enough, you are perfect as you are, you’ve got this, and really anything that helps empower you to use your voice and start to live your life in a powerful way.
Our Mission
THE FOUNDERS
Suzy Mellon
A little background on myself and how I got here. I was a personal trainer for several years before I decided to go back to get my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. People always ask me “why the switch?” and her is how I found my passion: I saw hundreds of clients each month that chose me to be their secret keeper and confidant and instead of only giving them the help that I could within my competence level I decided to go back to school to get a better understanding of the human mind and psyche. It has been such a rewarding journey. This experience of not only working with the physical body but also the mind has been an extremely powerful one that has shown me that we are much more than just our minds. My therapeutic approach is one that looks at the whole picture: mind, body, and spirit.
Chakeysha McKinney-Lyons
I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. While I am waiting for my full licensure I have been doing some life coaching. I am passionate about helping others. I enjoy giving clients the space to be who they are without judgements and nurture the courage to be imperfect. There is no such thing as a crazy question of dumb idea. I believe therapy is a life altering, collaborative process that guides clients to increase self-awareness and helps to gain new perspectives all while decreasing symptoms. I believe you are the expert of your own life. We get to join and collaborate with you so that you can increase personal strengths, foster healthy communication skills and have more meaningful life experiences. When I am not helping other I am the wife of a sailor and a mother of two of the coolest little humans.
