Melanie Barefield, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
GA
Hello, I'm Melanie. With 8 years of experience as a counselor, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients facing challenges such as learning disabilities, unresolved trauma, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and am licensed as both a Professional Counselor and a Marriage and Family Therapist. My professional journey has taken me through various environments, including residential treatment centers, in-home counseling, church-based settings, and hospital settings, each enriching my understanding and approach to therapy. My therapeutic philosophy centers on collaboration and listening. I believe in helping you or your family identify where you want to be and working together to achieve those goals. For individual therapy, I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT techniques, tailoring my approach to your unique needs. My background in family therapy allows me to incorporate Family Systems Therapy, which helps individuals understand the dynamics of their family system and make necessary changes. This might involve setting healthy boundaries or altering interaction patterns within the family or other relationships. Taking the first step towards change can be daunting, but it's also incredibly brave. I'm here to support you on your healing journey, providing the guidance and tools you need to make your tomorrow better than today. If you're ready to start this journey, I'd be honored to work with you.
