Melanie Darling

My communication style

I am an adaptable, warm, and sensitive person who hopes therapy can provide a safe space to work through potentially challenging things. I appreciate bringing in compassion, reflection, enthusiasm, appreciation, and curiosity.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always knew I wanted to be in the healing realm, working with herbalism, Qi Gong, Sound Therapy, and other practices and Somatic or Mind-Body therapy draws my interests. I have also worked with school-age youth, recognizing the inner child in all Clients.

My goals for you

I am curious what goals the Client may come in with, and I will support them in tracking how the goals are going as we move through the therapy work together, praising each Client as they move towards their goals, but not always in a linear fashion.

Our first session

First session, I will introduce myself and allow for any questions. I would be interested in learning the Client's own goals and expectations from therapy, if they have had therapy before, and what they did or did not like about their last experiences, to culminate in an ideal experience for the Client.
