Melinda Sowka

Melinda Sowka, a dedicated mental health counselor with credentials including an LMHC and MCAP, embodies a belief that every individual's journey is unique. She embraces the diversity of her clients and does not adhere to the notion of an 'ideal client', valuing the varied concerns and experiences that each person brings to therapy. Her approach is centered around the understanding that many individuals may be unsure of their needs or unable to articulate their true goals; thus, discovery is a vital part of her therapeutic process. Melinda specializes in working with complex trauma across a broad spectrum of ages and demographics. With an advanced certification in addictions treatment, she effectively engages in individual therapy, group work, and family systems therapy. Her extensive experience encompasses a range of issues, including eating disorders, anxiety, stress management, and holistic health. Melinda perceives therapy as a collaborative process, where healing flourishes both within the individual and the surrounding environment. She likens her therapeutic presence to a ship coming alongside a dock, guiding and accompanying clients on their voyage towards their best selves, emphasizing that they remain the captains of their own ships.
