LCPC, 5 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Chicago, IL. I received my Masters from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have been practicing for 5 years. I help people of all ages meet their goals. I encourage my clients to participate in self-care and to build their coping toolbox to manage everyday challenges. I am also big on respecting boundaries and providing a safe space for clients.
During our first session, we will get to know eachother through conversation. Since we are building a relationship, it is important that the client also feels comfortable asking therapist questions. I will ask your background and family history and will discuss any challenges you are currently working through. We will also come up with therapeutic goals during this session.
My greatest strengths as a provider are providing a safe and comfortable space for clients to be themselves. I am also good with asking reflective questions that may help clients view situations from multiple perspectives. I am very empathetic and try to respect the boundaries of clients.
I would love to work with clients who are willing and ready to make positive changes in their lives. Clients should feel safe and supported throughout their therapeutic journey and would love clients to provide their honest feedback. I love working with individuals who advocate for themselves.
Therapist explains to clients how thoughts, behaviors and emotions are all connected. Therapist also uses homework.
Therapist uses empathic understanding, congruence and unconditional positive regard to build rapport with clients.

Melanye has been my therapist for a couple of years now and I couldn’t imagine not speaking with her regularly. She’s there for my never ending rants and stream of consciousness so I can figure things out and she knows how to talk me through the hard parts of life. A million stars out of 5 :)

Melanye is an incredible therapist. From our very first session, I felt a connection and was able to get right to what I needed to work on. She creates a space that feels like you're talking to a trusted friend—comfortable and supportive, while always maintaining professional boundaries. I've been seeing her for a year now and in that time, she’s helped me make more progress than I did in seven years with a previous therapist. I’m truly grateful for her insight, empathy and guidance!
