Welcome to PlushCare Therapy! I'm Melissa Dowd, Therapy Lead at PlushCare.

At PlushCare, we strive to deliver the WOW experience to our patients, which is why we are so committed to building a team of clinicians that are passionate about providing high quality healthcare, including mental healthcare, in an accessible and supportive way.

We base the foundation of our therapy program on a Collaborative Care Model: addressing biological, psychological, and social factors. Our clinicians work together as part of a Care Team consisting of Therapists, Primary Care Doctors and internal consulting Psychiatrists, to fully support you and help you achieve overall health and wellness goals.

We know starting therapy can be daunting, which is why we offer a safe space for you to talk about your feelings and discuss your concerns in complete privacy, from the comfort of your home, or the space where you feel the most grounded. We foster an inclusive, nurturing, positive, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable and encouraged to grow.

Our therapy program has a number of unique benefits, including:

  • Free video chat consultation with a therapist before booking a full session, to make sure you find your match

  • Real-time support - no texting your therapist and waiting 24 hours for a response

  • Convenience of accessing physical and mental healthcare in one platform, with collaboration between your therapist and primary care physician to provide mental health prescriptions if you choose

  • Flexible appointments that fit around your schedule

  • Secure, weekly, 45 minute sessions from the comfort of your home, allowing enough time for significant progress each session

  • Diverse selection of highly skilled therapists from an array of different backgrounds, with proficiencies in different languages, and training in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to name a few

Whether it's your first time in therapy, or you have been to therapy and are starting again, our clinicians are here for you. We celebrate you beginning this journey, and our therapists and primary care physicians are here to support you and guide you every step of the way.

In good health,

Melissa Dowd, LMFT
