HELLO!

My name is Melanie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My passion is working with children, parents, and families. I believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and validated not only for the challenges they are experiencing but for the things they are already doing right. Every person experiences difficulty at some point in their life and I am not here to judge or blame. You matter and I seek to create a space where you can actualize your identified goals.

I focus on positive parenting, which includes parent education, support groups, and classes. Children do not come with manuals, and many find it challenging to navigate the changing landscape of raising children. Whether you are looking to refine your parenting skills or feel like you are at a loss for where to even start, I provide parents with tangible tools to help raise compassionate, happy, well-attached children.

With children, I focus on creating a safe space to explore their experiences and emotions. In my sessions, children are encouraged to use their natural curiosity to learn coping skills that work for them. All behavior is communication and together we can decipher what message is being sent. I work closely with all important adults to ensure a cohesive, strengths-based approach to supporting your child. I have a special focus on supporting parents and mothers with infants and young children and post partum support.

I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings (non-profit, community mental health, a school, and teaching social work at a local university) focusing on children, families, and facilitating support groups. You can expect warmth, compassion, and empathy in our time together. I use a strengths-based, systems approach to support you and your family, utilizing a variety of additional interventions based on your needs and desires.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Feel free to contact me if you have questions about my ability to help you with what is bringing you into counseling. Transformation happens when we feel understood and accepted without judgment; I strive to provide that space for you. I became a therapist because therapy changed my life - I would be honored to partner with you on this journey of self-exploration.
