I’m a wife and mom of three boys, and I’ve been practicing therapy for over 12 years. In that time, I’ve been honored to work with so many individuals and families, using a variety of approaches personalized to my client’s individual needs.

I have a Master of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling, and I’m a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Maryland. 

For a while, I worked in community counseling with intensive in-home therapy. It’s there, I realized how powerful the dynamic of family truly is.


I'm Melissa Houck.

Gratitude

I'm so grateful for these experiences as they helped mold me into the therapist I am today.

I eventually started practicing outpatient therapy with Catholic Charities, helping students and their families advocate for themselves. We addressed coping skills and how to develop confidence despite the circumstances surrounding them.

This work helped me see how important the connection between mind, body & spirit is. Its impact has been essential in influencing my views toward therapy and the approaches I use.


Eager to bring spirituality into my work, I started working for my church at Crossroads Counseling. The next step was to start my own practice – Finding Grace Counseling.


If you’re looking for a safe and warm place to overcome hardships and thrive in a life of connection and healing, I’m here to help you find just that.

My passion: to remind you you’re not alone, to come alongside you and take this journey together so you can take back your life and find peace and joy. 




- Paulo Coelho

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.
