Heartlinks Clinician
Hello! I am a licensed Social Worker with a varied background, including hospice. I have always been a helper and being in a helping profession was a natural journey for me. My husband is a Nurse Practitioner and we have a 19 year old son and two dogs. I lived in this area twenty years ago and have recently moved back. I am a landlocked mermaid and love the beach, but I will settle for a pool. I am thrilled to be part of this Team!

Melissa Nicewaner
Chaos Coordinator
Heartlinks Business &
Communications Supervisor
Melissa does almost everything except for counseling at Heartlinks. She is often the one who answers the phones and helps new clients get scheduled. Melissa also runs social media and manages the office. Her favorite thing about Heartlinks is the support it provides to the community. She lost her father suddenly in 2015 and best friend died by suicide in 2016, so grief is close to her heart.
