Finding and embracing your authentic self is a journey that can be challenging. Figuring out how to cope in a healthy way with what the world throws at us can be difficult. I'm interested in working with you to figure out how you want your life and experiences to be, and how to start making your way there. I've been practicing for over 5 years, working mainly with LGBTQ+ young adults and adults struggling with anxiety, gender, and interpersonal communication issues.

I belong to many communities and have many identities. Most strongly I identify as Queer, a Person of Color and Intersex. I strive to use these experiences and identities to help me connect to clients. I volunteer and work with intersex, gender-expansive, and trans youth and adults. I see the care I offer as an act of resilience and defiance.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping adults and teens heal from trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, grief, and codependency. My approach is integrative and personalized, blending relational and psychodynamic therapy with trauma-informed care, somatic techniques, EMDR/Brainspotting, and mindfulness. I work not just to reduce symptoms, but to support deep, lasting transformation.
Before earning my doctorate, I led crisis intervention and domestic violence agencies—work that ignited my commitment to trauma recovery. I completed my predoctoral training at UC Davis, my postdoc with the Department of Corrections, and later worked with Kaiser before transitioning to full-time private practice. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how systems impact healing—and what it takes to create a space where real change can happen.
I specialize in working with adult children of abuse, adult children of alcoholics, healthcare professionals, and those who have lived through overwhelming experiences but are ready to reclaim their story. My clients often seek not just relief, but reconnection—with themselves, with others, and with life.
Outside the therapy room, I’m a water and nature enthusiast—you’ll often find me floating, hiking, or recharging in the wild. I’m also a devoted dog mom, and my therapy dog, Niles, will soon join me in the office to support clients on their healing journey.

You’ve spent a lifetime caring for everyone else. My job is to help you finally exhale.
I’m Melissa Lou Koerner, LCSW — a therapist with 20+ years of experience helping people navigate the messy, meaningful, and often hilarious business of being human. I’m a generalist at heart, which means you don’t have to fit into a diagnostic box to work with me. If it’s part of your story, it’s welcome in the room.
Over the years I’ve supported adults, couples, families, caregivers, Veterans, adoptive families, and folks moving through grief, trauma, identity shifts, and major life transitions. From school hallways to hospice rooms to VA clinics to private practice, I’ve learned one thing over and over: people are far more resilient than they realize.
My style is warm, grounded, and practical. I blend trauma‐informed care, attachment work, and evidence‐based approaches with a healthy dose of humor — because sometimes the only way through a hard moment is to laugh at how absurd life can be.
And while I’m a true generalist, I’ll admit my favorite work these days is helping adults untangle enmeshment, estrangement, and parentification. There’s something powerful about watching people reclaim space in their own lives after years of carrying roles that were never theirs to begin with.
If you’re looking for a therapist who can help you untangle what’s heavy, honor what’s hopeful, and
