Carly Melancon

I am currently accepting new clients ages 3-39. I have 5 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults focusing on clients who historically have not had easy access to mental health care. I am very comfortable working with ADHD, trauma and stress reactions, the spectrum of anxiety and depressive disorders. I also have experience working with folks with Autism and Intellectual/Developmental disabilities, young people in foster care and in the juvenile justice system.

I work from an anti-oppression, abolitionist framework and help clients examine the effects that ableism, white supremacy/racism, climate change, sexism, labor exploitation, homo/transphobia, etc have on their mental and physical health as individuals and as a community. I am passionate about building individual and community resilience against the aforementioned forces in our lives. I do not pathologize clients’ responses to the everyday stresses and traumas of living in the United States.

My process includes a thorough evaluation to help you determine what types of treatment will best support your goals and whether medication is appropriate or not. I synthesize the information you provide about yourself, your context, and your goals into information and resources that you can use or seek out to support your health.
