Hello and welcome! My name is Melinda and I am a licensed therapist in CO and FL. For over 7 years, I’ve walked alongside women and children healing from trauma and major life transitions. I am passionate about creating a safe, gentle space for your unique healing journey.
I love this work. Twenty plus years in the field of psychotherapy, from hospitals, residential treatment, schools, outpatient clinics, crisis teams, to professional teams and now private practice, I offer a wide range of interventions.
If you're seeking family systems (internal and external), Couples & communication, Parenting & Co-parenting, Individual therapy, Trauma-recovery using EMDR, Brainspotting, Mindfulness and CBT, and Art Therapy, to support in identity exploration and archetypes, I'll meet you where you're ready to work.

I am a trauma-focused therapist and I work with adolescents, adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood abuse, and other distressing life experiences.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wheat Ridge
Finding the right therapist in Wheat Ridge starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your needs. On Headway, you can review detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and style before you book.
Wheat Ridge is part of the broader Denver metro area, and many providers serve clients across Arvada, Lakewood, Golden, and surrounding communities. Both virtual and in-person sessions are widely available, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and preferences.
Therapy in the Denver metro area can be expensive out of pocket. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session, though costs may vary based on your location and exact insurance coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
