More about Melinda

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed Social Worker (LCSW) residing in Colorado with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

My approach to therapy varies based on client's needs. I strive to empower clients to develop skills that can address and positively impact their area of concern in a meaningful manner.

I value client's insight and respect their right to self determination while providing options and support based on their needs. I also strive to meet my clients where they are and to respect their life experiences.

I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Melinda Perry is the best of the best. When you've been around the block a few times with therapy you really learn the value of your therapist not just being top tier in their discipline, but being a top tier human being. Her compassion and her wisdom have done more for me than I can ever verbally detail. Her interpersonal skills had me opening up and unconditionally trusting her with things I never let anyone near. I'll be honest I was really really in a bad place. Melinda didn't just save my life. She empowered me with a life I never imagined possible. I went in seeking treatment to manage symptoms. I didn't even know recovery was a possibility. I came out the person I always wanted to be with a life I never know I could achieve.
