As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience, I work with teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, life changes, relationships, grief, and emotional overwhelm. Sometimes you may not have the words for what you’re feeling—you just know something feels off. I offer a warm, judgment-free space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to begin or who you can trust. I strive to create a compassionate and judgment-free space where you can feel safe and understood. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and many other concerns. I provide telehealth-only services, offering the flexibility and comfort of meeting from a private space that works for you. Together, we’ll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more confident, balanced, and and in control.

Welcome! My name is Melanie and I am the own of A Mindfulness Practice LLC. I earned my MS in Counseling with a concentration in mental health at NOVA Southeastern University in 2019. I have experience working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse. My work with adolescents includes depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and sexual identity.

I work with high-performing adults, including executives, physicians, medical students, therapists, attorneys, artists, musicians, and professionals in demanding careers. Many have built accomplished lives while quietly struggling with anxiety, complicated relationships, shame, or a persistent sense that they should be happier than they are.

A significant part of my work involves conversations people rarely feel free to have elsewhere. Infidelity, sexuality, desires they don't fully understand, resentment toward people they love, or questions about relationships and choices they've spent years defending. These experiences can be profoundly lonely, especially when shame, guilt, or fear of exposure makes honesty feel risky. I bring a sex-positive perspective and genuine curiosity to these conversations. I'm interested in understanding what people experience and the parts of themselves they've had to keep private.

I'm warm, direct, and genuinely curious about what makes people who they are. I'm interested in the parts of ourselves we work hardest to hide, even from the people closest to us. Many of my clients have become remarkably skilled at managing how they're perceived while feeling increasingly disconnected from their own wants and needs.

My work is about creating the conditions where that armor can soften. I want people to feel genuinely seen and begin experiencing more of the lives they've worked so hard to build. Some have spent years creating meaningful moments for everyone around them while standing at the margins of their own joy.

I'm a compassionate and empathetic therapist dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges. I have a passion for serving Veterans and individuals with complex trauma/PTSD. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and parts. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University. With over 10 years of experience, I support individuals in managing anxiety, navigating depression, and healing from past trauma.

My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a spiritually grounded perspective. While therapy is rooted in clinical skill, I also create space for deeper connection—often integrating spiritual awareness into the work for those who are open to it. I believe healing is not just mental, but also deeply internal and, at times, spiritual.
