Melanie Lapeyrolerie

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and supportive. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about the things that matter most and those you may feel uncomfortable discussing. I pride myself on being down-to-earth, authentic, and compassionate with the gift of listening without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I always felt a duty to help others. That duty evolved into a career as a healer, helper, teacher, and therapist. I am genuinely interested in helping people heal from their afflictions. I believe there is a special calling for my work in helping others that gives my life meaning and joy.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress throughout the sessions.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building a connection and how I can help you. We will have a conversation, and your concerns will be the focus.
