Melissa Horne, Ph.D.

Dr. Melissa Horne is a licensed psychologist in Utah and Colorado. She completed her doctoral degree at the University of Northern Colorado in 2014 following an internship with the University of Idaho that emphasized assessment work. Her post-doctoral experiences included working in an outpatient community clinic affiliated with Western Michigan University and working with a private practice in Boulder, CO.  She was also a Clinical Director at this private practice after opening a branch in Durango, CO for three years.

Melissa is currently focused on assessment services by traveling to different wilderness and residential treatment environments.  She provides dozens of psychological evaluations each year, with a focus on learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, mental health diagnoses, and understanding the impact of trauma and substance abuse on the developing brain.  Melissa works to provide compassionate, therapeutic evaluations that go beyond diagnoses.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Melissa painting, hiking in the mountains with her two dogs, or trying to perfect her cherry pie recipe.
