Hi there, I'm Melynda!
Reaching out to schedule your first session can be overwhelming. My goal is to make it simple, easy and not complicated. I have over 18 years of experience in the Social Work field. I have worked in community mental health in a multitude of roles serving people from all walks of life. I have my Master of Social Work from West Virginia University.
My focus
Over the course of my 18 years, I have provided services from children to the elderly and am comfortable with all populations. Most recently, my focus has been specifically in the areas of anxiety, trauma, and depression.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is grounded in meeting you where you are currently in life. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build skills for managing intense emotions, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to help you stay present and grounded.
