Welcome to Inner Reach Therapeutics, LLC.  My name is Melissa, but I go by Liss. I'm an occupational therapist specializing in mental health, and I approach treatment from neurodiversity affirming, evidence-based, and lived-experience perspectives.

I struggled with my mental health for many years and received many misdiagnoses. When it was finally understood that I'm autistic, ADHD, and have cPTSD, things started to make so much more sense. Learning to unmask and combat internatlized ableism is an ongoing process that has been invaluable to me. Learning about my sensory processing and how to care for my sensory needs has also majorly impacted me in a positive way. Occupational therapy is something I learned about and wished I'd had when I was struggling the most, so I'm eager to provide those supports to others.
