I’m Melinda!

​

If you are anything like me, you are flawed and imperfect; yet you are your own worst critic. Ugh...all the things we are not supposed to worry about; we do and we let get us down. Here we are....letting outside distractions ruin our day, ruin our relationships, and our careers. But they don't have to! If you want to organize your thoughts, learn to practice grace, or gain strength by letting go of that paralyzing feeling of being lost and overwhelmed; follow the steps below:

 

• First, you will need to schedule a video consultation with me. Simply click here.

 

• When you log on to a consultation with me, I'll share a rundown of how the flow of my practice works; with expectations of you as the client and myself as your therapist.

​​

• After the free little chat, YOU get to decide if I will be an asset in your healing journey while I determine if my training and expertise will mesh with your therapeutic goals.

​​

• The next time we meet (your initial/first session), I get all nosey in your life to understand all things YOU.  I'll ask questions and have you complete a few assessments. These are all completed within your account in my client portal.

 

• Now, we get to start hanging out weekly where rapport is built and therapy begins. I like to use a little CBT, a lot of EMDR, and a sprinkle of Narrative Therapy. (I go into more detail about each during the consultation and initial session or any session at any time.)

​​

It should be noted that I may need to encourage or nudge you to be brave and dig deep. (This is where I don't beat around the bush very well.) Not everyone likes this part of therapy but it is most important to move through stress/anxiety, trauma (from childhood or adulthood), and any growing pains life may be throwing your way. But don't worry...we will be doing it together with so much compassion and deep breathing!
