A note from Melanie

Mental wellness is a need and everyone can benefit from having someone to listen to them, support them, and focus on empowering them in a non-judgmental way and spiritual way. My approach as a LMHC is Client Centered as one size does not fit alI. I believe in the HGH: Hope, Gratitude, and Humor. My work availability is on Wednesday through Fridays from possibly 10am through 9pm, subject to change. If at anytime you feel you are at risk of harming yourself, please call 911 or the national hotline, * 1-800-273- TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away, or go to your nearest emergency room.
