Melanie Cooke

Melanie Cooke is a compassionate Counselor with a wealth of experience helping young to middle-aged adults navigate feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and shame—often associated with imposter syndrome. She specializes in guiding individuals and couples seeking secure attachments in their relationships. With a focus on emotional understanding, Melanie assists clients in practicing boundary setting, balancing acceptance with control, and resolving conflicts to foster deeper, more fulfilling connections. Beyond traditional therapy, she offers financial coaching aimed at alleviating money-related stress, empowering clients to explore the emotional and psychological dynamics of financial security. Utilizing trauma-informed Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Gestalt therapies, as well as body-based mindfulness techniques, Melanie addresses emotional wounds anchored in both mind and body. Her sessions are characterized by creativity, vulnerability, and playfulness, helping clients to uncover and resolve emotional 'unfinished business.' For those feeling daunted by the idea of starting therapy, Melanie encourages a curiosity-driven approach—an open mind is all that’s needed to begin the journey toward healing and wholeness.
