Welcome! My name is Melanie Kopano. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Pennsylvania. I received my Master's Degree from West Chester University, and I've been a therapist for the past 20 years. I'm a Christian and a counselor, and I love seeing how Biblical truths and clinical methodology work hand in hand to effect meaningful change. That said, I've worked with people in all seasons of life and from many different backgrounds in both secular and faith-based settings. I take great joy in seeing my clients find the direction, freedom, and/or healing they're seeking.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will give us a chance to get to know one another a bit. You get to fill me in on the all the reasons you're here, and together we'll develop a clinical plan to help you reach your goals. That way, we can keep the end goals in sight as we move through treatment. I also firmly believe that counseling is only effective if therapeutic trust and rapport grow organically between client and counselor. In other words, I have to be the right fit for you! As we begin working towards your treatment goals, the first few sessions will give you a sense of my therapeutic style and will allow you to ask any questions you might have as we begin this journey towards change and growth together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My varied professional experiences over the past two decades have allowed me to develop a stocked therapeutic toolbox to help you navigate whatever challenges you may be facing. Much of my career has been spent supporting clients who have experienced significant trauma and feel trapped under the weight of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping strategies. Consequently, I've had a great deal of experience individualizing treatment to an person's unique story. My varied clinical skill set, empathetic approach to engagement, and individually tailored treatment plans can help you get where you want to go.
