Melanie Noxon

My communication style

My communication style is genuine, warm, and non-judgmental. I practice active listening, which means I am fully engaged and seeking to understand what each client has experienced. I may ask questions and provide feedback during sessions. I also believe in the value of humor, and have been told that I have a good sense of humor!

My journey to mental healthcare

I was 15 and wasn't old enough to be a youth basketball coach, but after three interviews, I was hired. I loved it! Later, I realized that whether I was coaching or working in retail that there was always an element of counseling involved. I went back to school and received my Counseling Psychology degree, and became a Licensed Therapist.

My goals for you

I believe Therapy is a collaborative process between a therapist and a client. As we work together, we will build a set of specific goals that matter to you based on your objectives. Along the way, I will provide guidance, and in this way, we will discover what works best for you so you can meet your treatment goals.

Our first session

Your first therapy session may be both exciting and anxiety-provoking. I will warmly greet you, and we will begin to get to know each other. I may ask you questions to understand your background, your reasons for seeking therapy, and your goals. I will encourage you to ask me any questions you may have about the process of therapy.
