Melissa Ramos Bauzo is the youngest of six from a blended family and a second-generation Puerto Rican American. This experience gave her the foundation of her love and interest in larger systems and Family Dynamics. She believes that understanding someone’s family dynamics and experiences in their larger systems helps the therapy process and her clients understand how they fit in this diverse world. Melissa has a private practice in Fishers, IN and specializes in working with many forms of diversity. She is WPATH trained and works heavily with children, teens, and young adults within the Gender Diverse community. Melissa is also an Ordained Minister with the Christian Church Disciples of Christ and often incorporates spiritual and divine influences in the therapy room when requested by clients. In 2021, Melissa co-founded The Marriage and Family Clinic that not only provided low-cost therapy for people in the community but also a training program for graduate and post-graduate therapists to complete their hours for graduation and licensure. This program was designed to also help therapists start their own business and learn the various ins and outs of the private practice world and have a healthy and successful business. In this role at the clinic, Melissa was also a supervisor that provided group and individual supervision to MHC’s, MFT’s and MSW’s. Melissa has a passion and dedication to provide a safe and intentional learning and supportive environment for each person she works with, whether a client or a supervisee.
