Melody Slawter is a compassionate counselor and LCMHC who understands that past experiences can create patterns of thinking, beliefs, and reactions that negatively impact individuals' lives and relationships. With her nurturing approach to therapy, she guides clients through a framework that identifies both past and present factors contributing to those patterns, empowering them to develop healthy coping strategies and a positive sense of self. Specializing in individual counseling for adults ages 18 and older, Melody focuses on issues such as depression, anxiety, and the symptoms of trauma. She creates a calming environment, ensuring that each client feels seen, heard, and valued. Collaboration is paramount in her practice; she works alongside clients to determine focal areas and employs a variety of techniques, including sandtray therapy, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and attachment theory. Melody tailors her treatment options to meet each client's unique needs and goals, incorporating between-session 'homework' that encourages momentum towards those objectives. Her warm, integrative, and strength-based approach fosters healing and growth, allowing clients to envision expansive possibilities for their future.
