Getting to know Jennifer Mele
Welcome to Creative Healing!
I'm Jen Mele, LCSW, EYT-200—owner and group therapist here. You've taken a meaningful step by seeking support, and that alone is a powerful act of care for yourself and your relationships. At Creative Healing, we work with individuals, families, and couples navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, intense emotions, impulsivity, self-criticism, and more.
Our practice is holistic, honoring the mind-body connection and the inherent capacity for healing, growth, and reconnection. We are passionate about helping people build emotional awareness, self-trust, and more compassionate relationships—with themselves and with others.
Many of the individuals, families, and couples we support are struggling with common but painful dynamics: difficulty managing emotional intensity, trouble setting and respecting boundaries, and the challenge of truly listening to and understanding one another without judgment. These patterns can create disconnection, resentment, and hurt—but they are also deeply workable with the right tools and support. We specialize in evidence-based treatment like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices and mindfulness because we’ve seen how powerfully they support emotional regulation, self-understanding, and both individual and relational healing.
These approaches aren’t just supportive—they’re scientifically validated. At Creative Healing, we integrate these proven methods to help you create meaningful, lasting change—from the inside out and in connection with those who matter most.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
