About Melody
My name is Melody and I have been in this field for 9 years. I have my Bachelor's in Social work and my Master's degree in Applied Social Sciences with a clinical focus. I went on to become independently licensed to provide counseling services in the state of Ohio. I have experience in many different areas working with individuals, children, and families. The areas I have the most experience in are issues relating to Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive disorder and assessing for the risk of Self-Harm and Suicide. My faith is a very important aspect of the counseling services I provide. I have been involved in ministry for over 15 years. If interested, I am able to apply biblical truths to your counseling sessions as we work through whatever you may be facing from a faith based stand point. During treatment I utilize a multi-dynamic approach by examining your support system, stressors, and other providers or professionals you may be involved with such as psychiatry, family doctors, teachers and other mental health providers. By assessing the impact these different areas have on your mental health we can explore solutions and improve management of your symptoms. I provide psychoeducation to provide insight into your current situation. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy to examine the impact your thoughts have on your functioning. We will utilize Motivational Interviewing to discover the inner strengths you do possess, as well as Trauma informed interventions. Everyone has experienced trauma and stressors at one point in their life whether they realize it or not. Identifying these events and how they have impacted you is another journey I like to take with clients. I hope to be able to help, and see everyone find peace despite their circumstances.
