Provider Types

This is a group practice with multiple providers, including:

  • Clinical Social Work/Therapists

Melanie is passionate about helping individuals move through life transitions, find clarity during relationship and peer struggles, and manage generalized anxiety & life stress. She further supports those facing depression, feelings of disconnection or being lost, and those struggling with emotional or disordered eating who feel stuck in cycles of shame, anxiety, or perfectionism. Melanie also possesses a deep understanding of the demands of high performance - particularly in athletes, and has a special interest in helping people manage the complexities of living with autoimmune disorders.

Melanie honors each individual’s lived experience while helping them understand how biological processes shape their responses to stress and influence their path to healing. She further uses integrative treatment techniques that encourage supportive lifestyle interventions, flexible and helpful thinking, and mindfulness behaviors.

Melanie is happy to talk about your needs through email or a free 15-minute phone consultation. If you and her mutually agree her services are a good fit for your needs, she would be honored to assist you on your healing journey.
