Our approach

During sessions, we’ll collaboratively discover what’s working for you while pinpointing what’s not. Through an honest, open relationship we’ll partner to make meaningful, long-lasting changes that have a positive impact on your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, culminating in new, healthier habits. As they say on an airplane, "place your oxygen mask on first before assisting others." It’s hard to care for children, parents, friends or family, if you’re not first caring for yourself. I’m here to help you care for yourself.

Counseling sessions utilize an interdisciplinary lens that combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered (Rogerian) Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These research-based clinical orientations focus on building strong relationships, setting specific, attainable goals and making long-lasting positive change.

    – Level Up Client

  • "Melanie has an uncanny ability to balance lighter things (playing games/art/engaging in jokes and chit-chat) with heavier emotional conversations; her light touch allowed my daughter to open up without feeling forced or overwhelmed."

    – Level Up Client

  • "Melanie has a true gift with children, to be sure. My daughter went from saying “I DO NOT NEED TO SEE A COUNSELOR!” to looking forward to her talks with Melanie."
