Melissa Stallard
About
Welcome! I am Dr. Melissa Stallard, I am a clinical psychologist licensed in California. Psychological evaluation is often one brief point within a person’s broader treatment journey; however brief, assessment can be a powerful and meaningful resource. I approach evaluations with the goal of understanding not only the presenting concerns, but the individual as a complete person. I hope to be a part of your process in clarifying diagnoses and guiding you towards meaningful support in your daily life.
I have always valued how people’s differences enrich our communities. I want to be part of that journey of self-discovery and self-understanding in an individual's life. Many individuals may come to the assessment process after years of feeling misunderstood or viewing their differences as something negative. It is meaningful to me to help people recognize their strengths and unique qualities and guide them toward greater clarity, self-acceptance, and confidence moving forward.
I aim to be a listener. No one understands you better than you, and while I am here to help navigate, clarify, and use my training to get us to a better understanding of what is happening in your life, my goal is to hear you. I strive to always provide an environment where you can feel safe, seen, and supported.
