Intro

Hi! I'm Dr. Melissa Ketner and I'm a clinical social worker in Indiana and Minnesota. I welcome you to work with me in therapy. I have 20 years of experience as a social worker and serve individuals and couples. I have worked in mental health, hospice, hospitals, private practice, and academic settings during my career.

How would you describe your approach to care?

I use behavior-based approaches like Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I will guide you in addressing the challenges in your life in a way that helps you move forward. I am warm and caring with a dose of humor.

What should be expected in the first session?

The first session will be a time for us to get to know one another. There will be several questions and areas for us to address, but I will take the time to partner with you in the process. We will also discuss any presenting mental health or addictions issues and to begin to discuss a plan for your therapy. I want to ensure your comfort and participation along the way!
