intake coordinator
Melissa Eckholdt
As the Practice Manager and Intake Coordinator at Embracing Joy, my goal is to help you feel supported from the very beginning. I'm here to walk you through what we offer and make sure you're connected with the therapist who's the best fit for you.
With over 20 years of experience in therapeutic settings, I truly understand how important it is to find care that feels personal, meaningful, and tailored to your unique needs. You're not just a name on a list—you're someone we genuinely want to support.
