Compassionate Care for Life's Most Difficult Transitions

Melissa Morrissette, LCSW, CGP, End-of-Life Doula

ABOUT ME

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and End-of-Life Doula who is passionate about helping people navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions. My practice focuses on grief and loss, bereavement, end-of-life concerns, and the emotional impact of narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships. 

My path has been shaped by both education and lived experience. I was raised by a parent with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and later spent 12 years married to someone with a similar diagnosis. Leaving and learning to be healthy and happy was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I decided to go back to school, and become a therapist so I can help other people like me. After losing my mom I realized how poorly we allow people to process grief in our society and became a Certified Grief Informed Professional.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of New Orleans and my Master of Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. I hold doula certification through the International End-of-Life Doula Association in addition to being a certified Level 2 Reiki Practitioner. I am currently working towards my Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC) credential.

I think it's important to recognize that we don't move on from grief, but we can move forward. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, trust-based journey where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, expressing your emotions, and finding ways to grow and move forward, even during the darkest of times.

MY MISSION

Whether you are seeking therapy or end-of-life services, I am here to create space for honest conversations, true connection, and care that honors your unique values, wishes, and journey.
