Melissa Hartman, LCSW-C, LCADC - Clinical Director
I am a licensed clinical social worker and substance abuse counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals on their journey to healing and recovery. I specialize in trauma-informed care, creating a safe, compassionate environment where clients can explore their experiences and build resilience. My practice is dedicated to helping you navigate challenges, find balance, and foster lasting well-being.
On a more personal level, I began my journey in recovery in 2001, arriving as a broken, fearful, and uncertain, little girl. I had reached a point in my life where I no longer truly lived, only existed—merely going through the motions and surviving each day. I had lost everything — no place to call home, no money left, my daughter was no longer with me, and to be honest, I felt completely hopeless.
Every day, addiction tightened its hold on me, dragging me deeper into despair, until finally, I took my first step toward freedom. Gathering every ounce of courage and strength I could summon, I dared to try something new— and it all started with a counselor who believed in me. I am hoping others will find that same FREEDOM here at FWS!
