Turning Point Psychotherapy & Assessment

I am Dr. Melissa R. Davies, a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience in mental health care. Since opening my private practice in Defiance, Ohio in 2012, I have dedicated myself to helping adults navigate life's challenges through solution-focused therapy. My practice emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can build trust and work toward personal growth. With expertise in treating depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, I serve diverse populations, including members of the LGBT+ community. My training at Wright State University's School of Professional Psychology, combined with my clinical licensure in Ohio and Michigan, forms the foundation of my approach.

I utilize telehealth services through PSYPACT certification to reach clients across multiple states, ensuring accessibility for those seeking support. My commitment to compassionate care is reflected in my interactive therapy style, which prioritizes practical solutions and client empowerment. I hold advanced training in mental health and deafness, and maintain active memberships in professional organizations like the American Psychological Association. My practice philosophy centers on transforming pain and uncertainty into opportunities for growth, guided by the belief that everyone can achieve their purpose with the right support.
