Welcome!

I’m Dr. Melissa McMullin, and I founded Aspire Therapy Center to create a space where therapy goes beyond simply addressing what’s “wrong.”

I believe therapy is [an opportunity to grow with intention, build resilience, and find greater happiness within yourself and your relationships]. Most importantly, it’s [a journey toward discovering what truly brings meaning and purpose to your life].

How I Can Help

My approach to therapy is rooted in collaboration. I’ve spent years working with individuals from all walks of life, and during my time earning my doctorate at Stanford, I learned the value of establishing trust and exploring life goals together. We’ll create a plan that’s tailored to your unique needs, and I’ll provide you with the tools to achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

My Background & Experience

I’ve had the privilege of working at Claremont Colleges and USC, advocating for students with disabilities such as ADHD, learning disabilities, and chronic illnesses. I understand the unique pressures of higher education and the challenges that come with balancing life and study.

I’m also deeply passionate about supporting expectant and new mothers. Parenthood is a life-altering experience, and I’m here to help you navigate the waves of change. By exploring your childhood experiences and your expectations of parenting, we can work together to create a sense of peace, focus, and resilience that will support you on this incredible journey.
