You’re Concerned About Your Child’s Well-Being 

You’ve noticed something is wrong but aren’t quite sure what it is. Sometimes it’s just a shrug of the shoulder or an anxious countenance, while other times it feels you’re watching the light in them go dim.

You’ve tried talking to your pre-teen/teen; however, they just don’t seem to be opening up.

Memories of them when they seemed more energetic, happy, and even fearless lead you to believe they need help. One thing is for certain, you love your child and want your child to have the support they need.

Some incidents have occurred…

There have been some incidents and you’re wondering if your child is ok – your child, who would typically tell you everything seems to be holding it all in.

This can have a noticeable effect on your child’s life, success, and your relationship with them.

Everything from schoolwork to self-esteem, even their sleep can suffer. Children struggle to find balance with all that’s going on. But, there’s hope! 

In our sessions, your child has the floor to talk about their aspirations, fears, and unfortunate events. Using a holistic approach allows them to identify the root of their struggles, truly work through them, all while learning skills like meditation, breathwork, mindfulness, decisiveness, and more.

 

Our Wellness First Approach

Each session is set up with the understanding that your child is not being diagnosed, and the center issue is only their well-being. 

Without the daunting need to earn the approval of authoritative teachers, doctors, and even psychologists, pre-teens and teens have the unique ability to finally share and open up with someone who works with them at eye level.

Understanding diagnosis and prescriptions are off the table, in these sessions children begin to feel safe to release and connect with someone who’s relatable and understanding. While you feel more comfortable that your child is getting the support they truly need.

Hi, I’m Melissa Cline, MSLCE, NLP

I’m a Wellness Counselor. My specialty is getting children to open up, especially when feeling uncomfortable with or disconnected from other professionals. 

Utilizing a mentorship approach, I work with your child at eye level, so they understand this is not a place for punishment, but is a safe space to release what they are so tightly holding onto.

I value family, respect cultural values, and understand the hesitancy some parents have to children being over diagnosed and over prescribed, so here at MBM, we don’t offer that.

With wellness put first, your child soars and the whole family benefits. 

You could be anywhere, but you landed in a place where wellness is put first for children, adults, and families. Welcome.

Imagine being met right where you are.

Understood just as you are.

And counseled in a safe, sacred space where your wellness is put FIRST.

Welcome to MBM Wellness.

It’s time you start your journey with us.

With just one phone call, the long search is over, and you can begin an incredible journey to wellness.

Starting that process is just as easy as making a phone call…

Parent Testimonial

Amazing work being done with my two sons that I placed into therapy with the understanding that it would be for them to have an outlet and learn good methods for dealing with any emotional issues they may have now or face in the future. Wonderful therapist who listened to the parents but places the mental well-being of her patients as the primary focus. Very thankful for this phenomenal therapist!

Parent Testimonial

Overall experience, great. I have seen much improvement in my daughter since she has been in sessions with Melissa.
– Tawanda S.

Parent Testimonial

I reached out so that my 12 year old son could have an additional person in his corner and Melissa was a God send. She really helped him to rationalize his thoughts and work through some tough feelings. He really looked forward to their sessions together. She checked in with me and really cared about what I was seeing outside of the sessions. She is just all around great at what she does.

– Melanie H.

Parent Testimonial

Melissa served as a counselor to our 12 year old son via Virtual due to us residing in New Jersey. Although our relationship was cut short due to in-person preference, Melissa provided valuable feedback on our son in a matter of 4-6 weeks. She uncovered so much in what our son may have been struggling with externally and internally. She enlightened us regarding our role with his challenges and offered some tips on effective approaches. Melissa was very accommodating and counseled with intent…

Meditation

It really helped me to release some things I was holding on to. I’d definitely do it again. I really loved the breathwork and was able to release so much. This was really powerful for me.

Meditation

You don’t really know you need something like this until you’re experiencing it. I did not know I needed it until I was doing it. Melissa did an amazing job and it was very relaxing. With the new year, many expected things to change but you have to take the effort to do things to feel the change. Thank you.
