Melissa Bannerot Bio:

Melissa, owner and practitioner, founded Bannerot Counseling and Consulting -PLLC in
2011. Melissa, a licensed clinical social worker, is a therapist as well as a supervisor
and trainer of therapists. Melissa enjoys helping clients and therapists become more
comfortable and connected with their emotions and the emotions of others. Melissa
started helping people heal from trauma, back in 2011 using EMDR (Eye Movement
Desensitization Reprocessing).

Melissa has since found even more effective ways to help people process traumas from
their past as well as learn how to bypass debilitating emotions such as anxiety, guilt,
shame and depression in order to feel relieving emotions such as joy, anger and
sadness. This therapy is called AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic
Psychotherapy).

Melissa’s clients have often said that before counseling, they were living day to day, just
getting by. Now, they can strive to achieve the next level with such a better
understanding and awareness of who they are and how capable they are. They feel
more grounded as well as connected to themselves and others.

She is the mother of four children, ages 15, 17, 22 and 24, and has been married to her
husband, Gregory for 28 years. Melissa was born in Michigan (lived in Detroit and
Dearborn) and grew up mostly in Houston, Texas.

Melissa enjoys time with her four kids and husband, and recharges through yoga and
hiking. She also loves just hanging out and connecting with her friends.
