Melanie Roum

My communication style

There is much compassion here for the hurt you feel. My ears and eyes listen deeply to understand where you are and where you want to go. You will be validated and encouraged at the same time. I am gentle and direct. We can discuss the past and how it impacts the present.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am deeply compassionate about human beings giving and receiving love well. The lack of skills and knowledge is fixable, and I intend to impact the world with increasing capacity to love and be in a healed state.

My goals for you

Curiosity about your motivations helps me to understand what matters to you. I hear your thoughts about what you want to achieve and work with you to establish goals that help you build confidence and grow. Often, goals will become more focused and targeted over the course of treatment

Our first session

I will gently ask questions to gain an understanding of where you are and hope to go. My goal is to learn about your current struggles and how they impact your home life, work, social life, schooling, and general day-to-day living. We end the session with a starting goal, and I may give you a task to work on until the next session.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
