Melissa Dawn Ackley
MAAT Professional Counselor Associate
Individuals, Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Families
| Art Therapy | Person-Centered Ecopsychology/Ecosomatics
Melissa Dawn is a native Texan and Oregon transplant, having relocated to Portland to pursue her MA degree in Art Therapy from Lewis & Clark, with an undergraduate studio art degree focused in ceramics. Beginning with her early childhood memories, Melissa recalls an ever-present fondness for experiential exploration and creative expression, creating 3-D and multimedia art with inspiration from the human and non-human natural world. The relationally connective aspects and insight-giving, healing value of melding art-making and psychology continue to motivate her work as an Art Therapist.
Melissa Dawn comes with diverse experience in varied environments with an array of populations, including a K-12 alternative therapeutic school, residential teen recovery, local homeless shelter, those living with dementia and other memory loss, adults and families during loved ones’ last seasons and end-of-life care in partnership with hospice.
In her clinical work as an Art Therapist, she integrates her present, Person-Centered way of being with Ecosomatics and an invitation to expand our perceptions of intuitive, embodied experience and how we relate to nature. She holds a belief based in evidence that sensory embodiment and a deepened connection to our natural world evokes a sense of belonging and interconnectedness which dispels estrangement and isolation, makes a way for felt anxiousness to be exchanged for calm, creates a space where grief, loss and trauma may be processed at one’s personal pace and in one’s unique way, and opens the door for the challenges of life to be confronted sans judgment.
You can often find Melissa toodling through Rose City listening to music (windows rolled down on a non-rainy day) as she goes to a local coffee shop for reading and engaging with others, or (on some of those rainy days) to get vegetables from the farmers market to take home for cooking up a pot of rainbow stew with her cats as onlookers. You might also see her on a nearby or coastal trail (rain or shine), enjoying the here and now whilst observing the natural world and collecting found objects for art-making as she connects with people along the way. With a formally educated and lovingly attuned presence, Melissa would love to meet you alongside your journey, and welcomes you to come as you are.
Formal Education and Training
Melissa holds a Masters in Art Therapy from Lewis & Clark College with an emphasis in Ecopsychology, coursework in Creative Interventions and Body/Movement, and is certified in NVCI (Nonviolent Crisis Intervention) and ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training).
