Hi, I am Mellonie, .................Prioritize you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Certified Coach. I believe that each person faces challenges and situations that aren’t meant to be handled alone. Through a meaningful therapeutic relationship, I believe that challenges can be tackled in a positive way together and individuals can learn the tools and skills necessary to move forward. I believe that creating a safe, compassionate, confidential environment, will enhance the individual’s ability to be vulnerable, take risks and benefit from interpersonal growth. As a client, you will learn to take control of your thoughts, feelings and behavior and be empowered to choose a healthy path forward with the benefit of new insights.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
PTSD Guideline PTSD: For Patients & Families What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns. These strategies might include: Learning to recognize one’s distortions in thinking that are creating problems, and then to reevaluate them in light of reality. Gaining a better understanding of the behavior and motivation of others. Using problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations. Learning to develop a greater sense of confidence in one’s own abilities.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The goal is to help the client achieve personal growth and eventually self-actualize.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes clients’ strengths and resources to create positive change, focusing on present and future goals rather than past problems. It’s brief, goal-oriented, and emphasizes solutions rather than delving into underlying issues. The focus is on the client’s health rather than the problem, strengths rather than weaknesses or deficits, and skills, resources, and coping abilities that would help reach future goals. Clients describe what they want to happen in their lives (solutions) and how they will use personal resources to solve their problems. Clients are encouraged to believe that positive changes are always possible and are encouraged to increase the frequency of current useful behaviors.
