Melinda Lericos is a dedicated therapist who understands the struggles individuals face when battling with their body and mind. Many find themselves second-guessing their words, feeling ashamed of their bodies, and grappling with judgmental thoughts. Melinda recognizes that food can sometimes be used as a distraction from deep-seated emotions or as a means to conform to societal standards of appearance. She acknowledges that trauma can significantly affect relationships, and she is here to support those who feel alone in their journey. Health is not a fixed destination; it is a dynamic continuum that evolves as one navigates through life. In a world that often glorifies perfection, Melinda helps clients combat intrusive and negative thought patterns while breaking free from the struggles associated with body image and self-acceptance. With a holistic, health-at-every-size, integrative, trauma-informed approach, Melinda caters to the unique needs of each individual. Her expertise encompasses a range of issues, including eating disorders, traumatic experiences, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, as well as anxiety and mood concerns.
