Eva "Melissa" Gadd, LMSW

Eva "Melissa" Gadd, LMSW, brings 25 years of experience as a social worker and therapist in Michigan. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and has practiced across a variety of settings, including medical social work and outpatient therapy, building sustained professional relationships that she values deeply.

Her work has focused on supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and major life transitions such as career shifts, marriage or divorce, the arrival of a child, an empty nest, changes in health, and caregiving responsibilities. She draws on a Person-In-Environment perspective, helping clients see how individual challenges connect with relationships, roles, and broader circumstances while tapping into personal strengths to move toward goals.

Clinically she uses an integrative toolkit, including Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and adapts methods to fit each individual because what helps one person may not help another. She offers acceptance, practical strategies, and collaborative support aimed at meaningful change. Holding an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - she approaches care with warmth and professionalism and looks forward to working with people navigating stress, loss, relationship struggles, addictions, mood concerns, caregiving, and other life challenges. She is also available to work with international clients.
