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 Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 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 therapeutic approach is holistic, trauma-informed, collaborative, and evidence-based. I integrate EMDR and CBT Therapy to help clients understand how past experiences influence their current thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I believe that healing involves addressing both the symptoms clients experience today and the underlying experiences that contribute to them. Together, we work to build emotional regulation, resilience, healthier beliefs, and practical coping skills while fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and lasting change.

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.
