Melinda Fay is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in Art Therapy. I received my MA in Psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute in 2002 and I have been licensed since 2008.
My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement.

it takes courage to take the first step to search for help and you've done it! I want you to know that at times when we are not feeling our best its ok to reach out for help. Sometimes depression, anxiety, family conflicts, questioning life goals can get on the way of enjoying life and we might need someone to help us through those times.
Being an LMFT is my second career, and the one in which I finally feel like my best self. Having been in the business world for 20 years before this has given me lots of great life experience. I bring all of this and my blended family life to the table when I'm in the room with clients. They deserve the whole person.
