MEET YOUR TRUSTED THERAPIST IN
VIRGINIA

Melissa Tully, therapist Virginia, sitting on the ground and looking off in the distance smiling.

I’m a licensed professional counselor and therapist in Blacksburg, Virginia. With a Masters of Education in counseling from Virginia Tech, I’m also a proud Hokie.

My clinical mental health experience runs the gamut from college counseling to leading groups in a substance abuse clinic to counseling individuals in private practice. I have certifications and trainings in treating trauma, PTSD, life transitions, stress, grief, and anxiety-related disorders. I also provide EMDR and somatic integrative therapy. I pride myself in being very solution-focused—so you can go out and live life! Most of all, I’m honored to witness the changes my clients make in their lives when they commit fully to the process of counseling.

Connecting You to Your Truth

I believe that all good counseling is spiritual in nature. No matter what evidence-based modality we use, the therapeutic process deepens your connection to your core Self.

After counseling sessions with me, you will feel more connected, more grounded, and more like your Self. You will feel home.

Tools That Honor Your Entire Self

I have advanced education and certifications in the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused-Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR). I am also trained as a Somatic Integrative Practitioner. My work often incorporates mindfulness principles that help you process the totality of your experience.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

WHY I LOVE THIS JOB

I entered this field after experiencing firsthand how difficult it can be to find the right mental health support. When my family needed help, we waited months to connect with the right clinicians. That frustration led me to pursue my Masters of Education in Counseling. Now my mission is to help other families find support more quickly.

I’m passionate about nurturing your mental health and wellness through deeply personalized treatment. My approach considers all of who you are—your mind, body, and spirit—as we work together to understand what has brought you to this moment. Sometimes this journey includes connecting you with other caring specialists, like psychiatrists, nutritionists, or acupuncturists, who support different aspects of your healing. 

I'm honored to provide integrative care that helps you flourish as your truest Self—because I've witnessed how counseling changes lives.
