Claudia Mellado

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 9 years of experience providing therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, chronic illness, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR to help clients heal from past experiences, build resilience, and create lasting emotional well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients can gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I use a holistic, trauma-informed perspective that considers the connection between emotional, physical, and relational well-being. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients understand how past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify unhelpful patterns, process unresolved experiences, strengthen coping skills, and develop healthier beliefs that support lasting change. I believe that therapy is not only about reducing symptoms but also about helping individuals build resilience, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and create a more meaningful and balanced life. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and move toward healing and personal growth.

Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel comfortable sharing their concerns at their own pace. During the first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any experiences that may be contributing to your current challenges. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan and begin identifying practical steps toward healing, emotional well-being, and lasting change.
