Welcome! My name is Melanie and I am the own of A Mindfulness Practice LLC. I earned my MS in Counseling with a concentration in mental health at NOVA Southeastern University in 2019. I have experience working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse. My work with adolescents includes depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and sexual identity.
I often use a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Person-Centered, Trauma Focused, and Strength-Based treatments styles. I am also Culturally Sensitive and an ally to LGBTQA. I mainly help clients with symptoms of depression and anxiety. We will work together to empower you to believe in yourself and tackle life's obstacles.
You might feel worse before you feel better, but that's a normal part of therapy, and most of my clients see sustained improvement with consistent appointments. Many of my clients return during hard times and are long-term because they love it!
