Melissa Sanchez, LCPC, BC-DMT

Metta Counseling Chicago is a comprehensive counseling service that provides a safe, compassionate, and trustworthy environment for individuals to explore their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our approach is centered around developing insight, clarity, and self-compassion, empowering individuals to uncover their inner creativity and emotional awareness.

Our Services

We offer individual counseling services, tailored to address a range of challenges, including anxiety-related disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and trauma related to emotional, physical, and/or sexual abuse. Our approach combines traditional diagnosis-related treatment with spiritual and existential exploration, acknowledging the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.

Connecting Body and Mind

Our unique approach incorporates the body as a vessel for accessing and healing the mind. As a Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, our therapist, Melissa Schleicher-Park, is trained to use the body as a tool for therapeutic exploration. While we do not currently offer dance/movement therapy as a standalone service, we may incorporate movement and somatic practices into sessions, engaging the body in a subtle yet powerful way.

iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation

We also offer iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation, a powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and trauma. This meditation practice combines deep relaxation, visualization, and breath awareness to promote deep healing and relaxation.

Insurance and Fees

We understand the importance of accessibility and affordability. We accept various insurance providers and offer competitive fees for our services. Please contact us to discuss your insurance and payment options.

Policies

At Metta Counseling Chicago, we prioritize confidentiality, respect, and empathy in all our interactions. Our policies are designed to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all our clients.
