Christine Melendres, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Christine!

My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I specialize in helping women leaders recover from burnout, manage anxiety, and regain balance in their lives.

My focus

I help high-achievers who struggle with anxiety and desire to heal from intergenerational trauma.

My approach

Using powerful techniques like Brainspotting and evidence-based methods, I'll help you reconnect with yourself, establish clear boundaries, and prioritize your health without compromising your career.

My communication style

I can be both directive and non-directive. I aim to make sure clients feel safe, seen, and heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about helping others heal and solve problems. I believe that therapy can help people achieve lasting change, and I am excited to be a part of that process.

My goals for you

We come up with 3 goals and 3 objectives for the goal. I like to use SMART goals.

Our first session

The first session should feel welcoming, warm, and supportive. I want clients to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings with me.
