I’d like to think I provide a welcoming atmosphere and warmth to the people I meet and work with. Hence, Talk With Mel, PLLC was created and built to provide a space where you and I can come together, and what else? - talk.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process—a partnership between you and me designed to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Each person’s journey to emotional and physical well-being is unique, which is why I offer a personalized and integrative approach tailored specifically to your needs.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and attachment-based techniques. In addition, I incorporate mindfulness strategies to strengthen the mind-body connection and promote holistic healing.
I am a licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington, a Washington Child Mental Health Specialist, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Nevada.
