Melanie Blank

I'm am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)-certified in Feb. 2022, received advanced training received March 2025. EMDR is evidenced-based therapy that has been shown to have broad benefits for people suffering from past trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, and/or substance abuse. It is largely client-led, and people often see results much faster than regular "talk therapy". I also have training in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Finally, I am certified in Teen and Adult Mental Health First Aid and have experience helping teens and young adults overcome suicide ideation.

I love making space for:

• Anyone who wants to heal from past trauma and work toward a life that feels peaceful and as free from anxiety as possible.
• People going through pivotal moments--like emerging adulthood, grief, or major relationship shifts -- offering presence, compassion, and steady support.
• Couples and families as they work to transform conflict into clarity, trust, and deeper understanding.
• Young people as they grow into their independence--helping them trust themselves, build resilience, and feel capable as they prepare to leave home and take on the challenges of adulthood.

Our past sometimes keeps us from living healthy lives with our loved ones, our friends, and our family. If you are feeling lost as you navigate a crisis, past trauma, grief, or a life transition, I'm ready to help you through the healing process.
