Melissa Shayfer
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
​
I support individuals, couples, and families in building stronger, more authentic connections with themselves and one another. My approach is grounded in the belief that growth happens through curiosity, compassion, and a deeper understanding of our inner world. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking to live with more intention, I help clients develop practical tools to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience
My approach is authentic and flexible, shaped by what you need in the moment. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Internal Family Systems (Level 1), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, CBT, Family Systems, and Psychoanalytic theory—adapting to what best supports your growth.
I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology from Phillips Graduate University and have since worked extensively with individuals of all ages. My experience spans various settings, including counseling centers, a Los Angeles charter high school, and private practice.

Making the choice to contact a therapist is a big step. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I am happy to provide a free phone consultation to ensure that I am the right fit for you.
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide superbills upon request, which you may use to seek reimbursement from your insurance company, depending on your plan’s out-of-network benefits.​
