Stefani Melendez
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CTMH,CAGCS
Starting therapy for the first time can be an overwhelming experience, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions. My priority is to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel both comfortable and understood. Together, we’ll focus on your unique strengths and explore how you can harness them to navigate challenges and find solutions that resonate with you.
We’ll work on building your resilience by developing a toolbox of coping skills that you can rely on during tough moments. In addition to a strengths-based approach, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, which can help you identify and modify thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. Our sessions will be tailored to your specific goals, incorporating elements like problem-solving, stress management, relaxation techniques, and even role-playing exercises to enhance your assertiveness/communication skills.
I have experience working with adults aged 18-65 on a variety of issues, including grief, racial trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, career counseling, life transitions, relationship challenges, college and graduate school concerns, communication difficulties, and women’s issues. If you're feeling unsure about how to start, anxious about past experiences, or worried about being judged, I encourage you to reach out. You can click the Headway booking link located in my contact info on my profile to schedule your first appointment. I’m here to support you on this journey, every step of the way!
