Melissa Francis

Therapist

Virtual • Cramerton, NC


Originally from Maryland, I moved to North Carolina in 2008 and recently to SC and have built both my professional life and my family roots here. I am the mother of two adult sons and the grandmother of two young girls, roles that deeply inform my compassion, steadiness, and commitment to helping others find their way through difficult seasons.

I earned my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gardner‐Webb University in 2018 and began my career as a hospice grief counselor, supporting individuals and families through loss for four years. Since 2021, I have worked in private practice, where I continue to provide trauma‐informed, client‐centered care. In my part‐time work, I am trained in Equilateral EMDR, an experiential modality that incorporates the healing presence of horses into the therapeutic process.

Sayer Mesh

Sayer Mesh

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Sayer, I’ve got a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University and have been working in the field for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been supporting folks from marginalized populations in rural communities, which has taught me a lot about resilience, strength, and the power of healing.

I see therapy as a way to build tools for facing life’s challenges, especially from a trauma-informed perspective. My main focus is working with the 2SLGBTQ+ community — helping folks explore their identities, feel safe in who they are, and work through the unique challenges of being queer in today’s world, where trying to erase us is all too common.

If you're looking for a therapist who gets it — someone who’s real, caring, and understands the importance of showing up authentically — I’d love to connect with you.
