Melinda Andres

My communication style

I place a high value on transparent, open communication to foster a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere. I engage in active listening and provide you with opportunities to reflect on your experiences, standing by your side as an empathetic partner. When we encounter challenges together, you can count on me to remain calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a former nurse, helping others has always been my passion. My personal experiences with suffering have motivated me to assist others in navigating difficult seasons in their lives. I believe it is important not to waste the experience of suffering but to use it to help others.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership where we identify and set goals that are meaningful to you, whether it's improving relationships or building self-esteem. As we progress, your goals can evolve, and we can adapt our plan to keep it relevant. I'm here to support you with the tools you need to move closer to your objectives.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss your background and what has led you to seek therapy. Therapy is a journey, and we will continue to develop our work together over time. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.
