Clients say this provider is
My name is Melanie; I am a board-certified, licensed professional counselor supervisor supporting clients struggling with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, or major life changes. Oftentimes we find ourselves at a crossroads and become stuck from indecision and fear. I have over 10 years of experience working with adults and teens in community mental health settings in the following areas: Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Personality Disorders, Anger & Stress Management, Substance Use, Intimate Partner Violence, Parent/Child Relationship Problems, and Non-Suicidal Self-Harm.
My foundational approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (helping others understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other); however, my style is adaptive and holistic; it is guided by the individual needs of each client. I believe that healing is a collaborative process that requires honest caring without judgment, to allow space for openness and vulnerability safely. In our first session, we will explore your needs and goals for change. I like to think of the first session as a meet and greet; we can ask questions and establish common ground for a therapeutic relationship.
Rather than adopting one style for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am open, encouraging, and challenge clients in a compassionate way.
I love working with individuals in transitional phases of life. I offer a warm, affirming space to empower my clients to take charge of their peace of mind through those challenging times and take steps towards entering these life transitions prepared for success.

There is not one right approach for any client, though many common issues have proven therapeutic interventions. I take a person-centered approach to tailor treatment to what works for you. I have been formally trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression, anxiety, and crisis interventions; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma , and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS).

I really appreciate that Melanie listened without judgment and was willing to meet me where I was in each moment.
