Melonie Tarlton

I bring a grounded, real-world approach to therapy, paired with a sometimes dark but always empathetic sense of humor. As someone who deeply understands the unique challenges of blended families and rural life, I’m committed to serving underserved and rural communities. I believe in meeting clients where they are—without judgment and with genuine respect for their life experiences.

My work is solution-focused and individualized—never one-size-fits-all. I draw on a strength-based framework, helping clients recognize their own resilience while navigating the tough stuff. I believe in being straightforward and honest, creating a space where real change can happen without sugarcoating or jargon.

You can expect practical tools and strategies that you’re ready to apply in your real life—not just in the therapy room. Clients often leave sessions feeling heard, validated, and equipped with concrete steps forward. I aim to help you build momentum, find clarity, and create meaningful change.
