Melissa Mitchell-Blitch, LPC, CACII, CPA

Melissa’s professional career began at a Big Five accounting firm. It was there that the seed of inspiration was planted.

As a member of the Private Client Services: Family Wealth Planning team, she worked with high and ultra-high net worth families on matters of wealth preservation and transfer. During these experiences, she observed that we each have a relationship with money, which not only affects our financial decisions, but also – and even more importantly – our relationships with others, ourselves, and the vast majority of decisions we make on a daily basis. Melissa realized that this relationship with money would have a far greater impact on the quality of life, relationships, and financial outcomes, than our advice and planning ever could, and yet she was unequipped to have an impact in this crucial area. She then began studying more about the psychology of money and eventually discerned a call to study psychology formally, to be an agent of change.

With bachelor’s degrees in accounting and business administration, and master’s degrees in accounting and psychology, Melissa is uniquely suited to understand the complexities of wealth management and business. Having worked with individuals and families across the spectrum of socio-economic status, she understands that we all have something that makes us unique, and this can either leave us feeling isolated and alone, or it can help us connect more authentically with others.

She enjoys learning what makes each family unique and helping them harvest these treasures for both present generations and generations to come.

One of her favorite quotes comes from J.R.R. Tolkien, “Not all those that wander are lost.” My interests have never been limited to one field of study or work. This diversity of knowledge and experience serves me well in the role of consultant to families of wealth and families in business.
