LPCC, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
My name is Melina, and I have worked in the field since 2020. I am an LPCC-S, and work with other counselors and clients. I have worked in various different settings including private practice, in communities, military, and in schools. I am so happy you are looking for a counselor, and taking the steps to get help! Finding a counselor that you jive with can with difficult.
The first session we will be doing an intake, and getting to know each other. My main goal is to make you feel comfortable, but also to provide an environment to share your story with me.
I am genuinely myself in every session. I strive to make every client feel comfortable, and welcomed in each session. I create a non-judgmental environment to help you share things that are more difficult. I am also creative and enjoy coming up with solutions that may be outside the box.
I work with all different types of people, and have found I am very effective when I work with people who have undergone trauma, who have anxiety and panic attacks. I also specialize in working with first responders and military. Overall, I enjoy being a clinician, and continuing to help others.
We look at how your thoughts affect your behaviors, and how your thoughts impact your emotions. Then we try to change/limit/accept your thoughts so they impact your behaviors in a better or more productive way.
Trauma treatment. Uses bi-lateral brain stimulation to heal your brain from trauma. Much different then talk therapy.
