Melainie Lauderdale

I am a therapist (She/Her/Hers) currently practicing under the supervision of Michele Frances Purvin, LCSW-S, LCDC. I am accepting new clients for in person and telehealth therapy. I practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and I am starting my training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) the gold standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related anxiety conditions.

​As a supervised clinician, I regularly consult with experienced professionals to ensure you’re receiving thoughtful, ethical, and well-supported care.

My approach is built on compassion, curiosity, and the belief that meaningful change is possible, even when it feels like it’s not at first. It is truly an honor and privilege to be invited into your story, and I’m dedicated to creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, valued, and never alone in what you’re going through.

You are the expert of you. I honor that and I want to help you navigate any issues such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts with a person centered and evidenced based solutions approach. You set the pace as we build clarity, emotional relief, and self confidence. I strive to offer steady, direct, non‐judgmental guidance and support.
