Meet Melissa Grivy, MA, LPC

I founded Aura Counseling with one intention: to offer a sanctuary for those who don’t quite fit the mold. My clients are often wise beyond their years, deeply sensitive, and motivated to grow, even when that growth feels messy or uncertain. They are the artists, the seekers, the gender-expansive dreamers, the socially conscious change-makers, the ones who sense things others can’t see, and who have often felt punished or shamed for that very gift.

​

I hold a master’s degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University and have spent the past seven years walking beside clients through their most transformative inner work. My training is rooted in mindfulness, relational therapy, and somatic healing, with a strong foundation in social justice and the ongoing work of decolonizing the self.

​

But above all, I am someone who will sit with you in the storm, not to tell you how to weather it, but to be with you as you find your own way through.

​

My role is not to lead or fix, but to walk with you as you reclaim who you truly are.

​

If you’ve felt emotionally starved, unseen, or too much for the world around you, I want you to know: you are not alone. You are not broken. And you are deeply, wholly welcome here.
