I am a strong advocate for ending the stigma that surrounds mental health. Everyone needs counseling, yep... even me! Join me as I destigmatize counseling services one session at a time. As a previous school guidance counselor, I have experience providing counseling to teens. I have a peaked interest in psychoeducation; including but not limited to, coping skills, boundary setting, attachment styles, locus of control, self-esteem, cognitive distortions, core belief work and much more.
As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.
I graduated with my Masters in counseling in 2007. I believe we all need to validation and empathy in order to begin to make changes that last. I like to help women overcome loneliness, anxiety, depression, family troubles, divorce, kid challenges, etc but I also help men navigate these things too! I've worked with teenagers all the way to past retirement. I help individuals as well as couples and families. I believe real change is possible with some insight, willingness, and a little bit of tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this!

Hi, I’m Susan Melton, LPC. I work with children ages 8+, teens, adults, veterans, and families who may be navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, emotional challenges, life transitions, or the unique experiences that come with neurodiversity and special needs.
