About

Hello, my name is Melissa Bagnato. I am currently located and licensed in the state of Ohio. I know life can be difficult at times. I want to help you find a sense of peace and well being. I enjoy helping you to engage in the most healthy way possible with yourself and others. have extensive experience working with clients that are going through emotional issues and/or have experienced past trauma. I use a combination of emotional support, understanding, and empathy to assist with inner turmoil and relationship repairs. I hope to assist you with finding a healthy balance between self-love and relationship health.

Education & Licensure

Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with neurodivergent clients is closely related to my belief that all individuals deserve to experience happy and healthy lives, no matter what challenges they face. Each individual has a story that deserves to be heard with compassion and understanding. I utilize each person's strengths to assist with personal discovery and relational connections. I help you gain an understanding of your family of origin patterns and past experiences so that you can better address your current struggles and feel empowered.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I have experience working with a variety of clients and appreciate the diversity that this brings to my craft and my approach. I am willing to incorporate principals that may be important and unique to you, as no two journeys are the same. I encourage all of my clients to work with me as partners to bring about meaningful change and create healing.
