Melinda Kent is a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate through life’s challenges. She specializes in addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, grief, and long-standing behavior patterns that may hinder well-being. Melinda understands the importance of creating a safe and supportive space where clients can embark on their healing journey and foster personal growth. Her therapy approach is client-centered and eclectic, drawing on techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and yoga. This holistic mind-body approach equips clients with valuable self-regulation skills and promotes a deeper level of healing. For those unfamiliar with EMDR, it offers a powerful method for resolving symptoms and emotional difficulties related to trauma, distressing life events, and adverse core beliefs, assisting clients in activating their natural healing processes and cultivating more adaptive thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
