- LMHC, LCMHC
I am licensed in Massachusetts and Vermont, with 20 years of professional, clinical experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with many of life's challenges. Areas of special interest for me are: postpartum challenges and adjusting to being new parents, addiction to substances, coping with grief and building confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will make every effort to tailor the work we do to meet your specific needs. If you are new to therapy, you may have a bit of anxiety about getting started. To help, we will begin by discussing what feels like the right approach for you. No need to tackle everything all at once. We can go at a pace that feels right for you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very caring and easy to talk to.
Melinda listens intently and offers various solutions to my problems/issues. I think her feedback is solution oriented and has helped me immensely.
Melinda does a great job.
Melinda is amazing! She has a very warm and welcoming presence. She makes me feel comfortable to talk to her about things that I have never been able to talk to any therapist or anyone in general about. She is a great listener and is not judgmental. Melinda provides me with videos , resources and activities outside of our actual therapy calls. I have nothing but extremely positive things to say about her. I love working with Melinda and rate her 10000000/10.
Melinda is very kind and warm. She has helped me tremendous is the few sessions that we’ve had. I always feel heard & her guidance is always spot on. Couldn’t ask for a better therapist
She is amazing!
Got the good advice I needed when I needed it!
