Hi. My name is Melinda. I have been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use/Abuse since 2005. I have been trained and offer resources for CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-informed and many other styles of therapy.
I wholeheartedly believe in individualized approach to therapy. Although I have access to many resources, you will generally find I consistently bring compassion and empathy to our sessions. It is a personal preference to create an organic collaborative environment with my clients.
At the beginning of each session, I like to start with a grounding technique or meditation.
As I come from a CBT and DBT background, I like to share techniques and skills with my clients, as well as, ask you to name something you would like to work on between each session.
