New Orleans Therapist Specializing in EMDR, Anxiety & Trauma
The hardest part is asking. You did that. You don't have to do the rest alone. In-person in New Orleans and telehealth in Louisiana, Florida, Arizona, and Georgia.
Healing at the root.
Not just the surface.
I'm Melissa Seitz, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma, EMDR, anxiety, and depression. I work with adults who've been carrying more than they should have to, helping them break old patterns, release painful memories, and build a life that actually feels like theirs.

Services & Specialties
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Practical, real-world tools that help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — and begin to shift them.
EMDR
A gentle, research-backed approach that helps your brain reprocess painful memories and experiences so they lose their grip on your present life.
Trauma & PTSD Treatment
Specialized care for adults ready to work through what's been weighing on them — at a pace that always feels safe and manageable.
Meet Melissa
My role is to help you get to the root of the problem, not just manage the symptoms. To uncover what's beneath the surface and gently begin to change it. I integrate the proven techniques of EMDR with principles from attachment theory, polyvagal theory, ego state and parts work, and mind-body practices — weaving these approaches together so that your therapy is tailored specifically to you, your needs, and your goals.
I am independently licensed in Louisiana and Arizona, hold a telehealth license in Florida, and a compact license in Georgia, so wherever life takes you, consistent care is possible. I seek to create a space of deep care, authenticity, and, when the moment calls for it, a touch of humor.
