Melissa Shepherd

Melissa Shepherd is a Licensed Marriage, Family and Child Therapist and Motivational Speaker offering over 15 years experience working within supervisory, training, private practice, and case management roles for education, non-profit, college, and private clinic settings. Her clinical approach began by focusing on helping individuals identify their strengths as powerful tools to resolve conflict. By honoring cultural history and intergenerational differences she assists individuals in their process of self-empowerment. Author of the forthcoming book entitled From Burnout to Happiness: How to Live the Life of Your Dreams, Ms. Shepherd now devotes herself to workshops/speaking engagements, psychotherapy at California Institute of the Arts and in private practice. Through multimedia experiences she provides tools in one-on-one and group settings to support the process of positively transforming relationships in all aspects of life. She engages people in reconnecting with inspiration and passion when feeling a “creative block”.
