About

Melissa Chana, MA, LPCC, PHC

Trauma-Informed Counselor, Creator of the TRI-RESET™ Method, and Author

Hey there! I’m Melissa, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) based in Colorado, and the creator of the TRI-RESET™ system—a structured, neuroscience-based approach to deep emotional healing and identity transformation.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a Bachelor’s in Life Coaching Psychology, Certification in Primal Health Coaching and training in EMDR, EFT Tapping, Somatic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I specialize in helping high-functioning adults heal what traditional talk therapy often can’t reach—by getting to the root of emotional pain and unconscious beliefs.

This Isn’t Talk Therapy, It’s Structured Healing

I don’t offer open-ended talk therapy. My sessions are not a place to simply vent or repeat the past. In my experience this does not heal. Instead, I guide you through a focused, whole-person process:

• Bilateral stimulation (based on EMDR principles)

• EFT tapping for emotional release

• Somatic regulation tools to calm the nervous system

• Trauma-informed breathwork

• Belief rewiring to shift identity at its core

Every session is designed to help you rewire what’s stuck, not just talk about it.

A Personal Note

My work is deeply informed by my own healing journey. I was once diagnosed with an “incurable” condition—Interstitial Cystitis—and told I’d live with it forever. C-PTSD diagnosis soon followed. Through nervous system repair, trauma healing, and mind-body work, I made a full recovery. I later wrote about it in my book, Healing Through the Pain. That experience taught me: real healing is possible, but not through surface-level tools. I had to create my own tools based on all my research to heal. Now I bring that healing to you.

Who I Help

I specialize in working with adults who are “functioning” on the outside, but disconnected or overwhelmed on the inside. You may relate if you:

• Feel emotionally reactive, anxious, or numb—even though “nothing is wrong”

• Struggle with people-pleasing, overachievement, or constant inner pressure

• Have been in therapy, but nothing has really changed

• Know your past is affecting you but don’t know how to stop the cycle
