Hello! I am dually licensed as a Mental Health Therapist and a Professional Clinical Counselor. I openly seek opportunities to help navigate wellness and connect with others within our community and with families to promote overall systemic health. I enjoy working with teens and individuals who are motivated and ready for change. I greatly value connecting with people, and one of the most satisfying things in life for me is to help others reach their personal goals and get to know themselves better from a place of compassion and curiosity. I truly understand the struggles present in daily life. I love working with new parents and adults adjusting to the demands of life. Do you have ADD/ADHD? Me too! Let's get some skills and learn about how to minimize its impacts on your life. Growing up in a religious household with toxic and emotionally immature parents can create children who are numb and struggle with expressing themselves... we can work through that! Whatever your struggles currently- I truly believe everything is figureoutable. Therapy can be scary and can also be pretty cool! If interested in working with me, I am currently offering therapy in-person sessions Mondays and Tuesdays. You can learn more on my website www.MelindaRoseTherapy.com
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal is to partner with you to help you address your challenges and struggles in a healthy and functional way. We will identify your goals for therapy and we will create a treatment plan to guide our process. Our goal is for you to leave therapy empowered, confident, and able to use your strengths and new tools to cope with life's future challenges.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a variety of different treatment methods and interventions. I work from a client-centered, harm-reduction, trauma-informed, and culturally informed perspective. I utilize Behavioral activation, DBT, CBT, Compassion focused therapy, Strength based therapy, Person-centered therapy and Meditation / mindfulness. Having the knowledge of many theories helps me to pull from different methods to create a custom approach that will help you to meet your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are authenticity and my ability to bring humor into session (when appropriate).
