Melanee McClary

I believe therapy is a place where you can feel truly seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. My approach is warm, compassionate, and affirming, with a focus on creating a safe space where you can explore experiences, recognize your strengths, and feel empowered to make meaningful changes. I will meet you where you are, without judgement, and walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges. Most importantly, I want you to leave therapy feeling more confident, connected, and hopeful about what lies ahead.

On my downtime, I love to hangout with my family, walk with my dogs, ride bikes with my husband, lift weights with my son, travel to see my daughter, and travel to new places.

My approach to a therapeutic relationship is strength based. I will meet you where you are at to engage true supports. I am a LICSW ( Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and an OSPI - certified school social worker. My clinical approach incorporates CBT ( Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ( DBT) with an additional focus on grief and loss, along with some substance use disorder treatment. I am committed to providing warm, affirming, and empowering support tailored to each person's individual needs.

Your first visit is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting comfortable relationship. we will talk about what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping to work on, and what supports you feel would be most helpful for you. I am curious and will listen with compassion to work collaboratively with you to create a plan that feels right for your needs and goals.
