Melissa Ximena Golebiowski

Clinical Social Work / Therapist, MSW, ASW

I’m Melissa Ximena Golebiowski, MSW, ASW, a therapist working with individuals throughout California who are navigating burnout, grief, trauma, major life transitions, and the emotional weight of demanding careers.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 15 years working in marketing, communications, corporate environments, and aerospace. That experience shaped my interest in supporting people whose work carries significant pressure, responsibility, or ethical complexity, including healthcare professionals, engineers, people working in technology and aerospace, first responders, and other high-achieving professionals.

My clinical background includes residential mental health treatment, grief support, youth homelessness, and work within the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. I approach therapy from a humanistic approach as well as a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective, creating space to explore not only symptoms, but the experiences, relationships, identities, and systems that have shaped them.

Melissa's Focus and Approach

I believe you can be good at what you do and still be affected by what you do. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to perform, manage the crisis, meet the deadline, care for someone else, or immediately find the solution. There can simply be room for you—the person behind the profession. 

Take The Hardest Step

Reaching out for help takes courage. We see and honor you.
