Melissa Scannell, LMHC, LPC
Psychedelic Informed Therapist
Valparaiso IN
Together, we focus on building a grounded, supportive therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, open communication, and collaboration. Our work may include clarifying intentions, discussing expectations, and developing personalized coping and resourcing strategies such as grounding practices, breath work, and nervous system regulation to support emotional safety, self-awareness, and readiness for integration and personal growth.
Ongoing support and integration sessions offer space to reflect on meaningful experiences, explore insights, and translate them into daily life in practical and sustainable ways. Through reflective dialogue, mindfulness-based practices, and therapeutic support, we work to strengthen emotional regulation, reinforce adaptive insights, and support continued healing and well-being at a pace that feels appropriate for you.
Hello, my name is Melissa Scannell (she/her). I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and have been in practice since 2005, specializing in complex trauma. I offer psychotherapy and psychedelic integration–informed support, both in person and remotely.
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, harm-reduction framework and focuses on preparation, meaning-making, and integration of non-ordinary or transformative experiences. I support clients in developing emotional regulation, self-reflection, and personal growth, while offering education and guidance that foster awareness, presence, and intentional living within a foundation of psychological safety and respect.
I draw from evidence-based and holistic approaches, including EMDR-informed care, mindfulness practices, guided meditation, sound-based practices, and Reiki-informed support. I have completed specialized professional training in psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine-assisted therapy models.
My role is to support integration, harm reduction, and psychological well-being as clients explore their own paths toward healing and self-understanding.
