Getting to know Meghan Wilkins Melanson

With 10+ years of mental health experience in clinical and medical spaces, I bring a unique blend of experience, warmth, and partnership to the therapeutic space. You don’t have to carry the weight of life alone. I hold a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and am currently working towards a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine. I hold a Mental Health Counselor license in Washington State. My experience is diverse, and so are my offerings. I'm happy to work creatively with you to find the best way to work together.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach combines traditional clinical insight with somatic (body-based) tools and mind-body techniques. We won't just analyze your stress; we will work to discharge it from your nervous system. Whether you are navigating the grief of a changing body or the overwhelm of a new life chapter, I provide a grounded space to help you reconnect with yourself. I focus on supporting you where you are at and providing a space for reflection, change, and growth. I'm big on collaboration and work with you to find the best tools and strategies for your personal life story. I specialize in Somatic Therapy Practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Talk Therapy from a Humanistic lens. Focus areas: Anxiety Depression PTSD Chronic Pain Life Transitions Serious illness & medical trauma End of Life & Bereavement Grief & Loss Burnout & Fatigue Relationship Challenges

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I really like to use our first session as a get-to-know-you opportunity. This helps me best understand the experience you are bringing into the therapeutic space and how I can tailor my skills to best support you. I like to call our first session "coffee talk." You can expect an honest assessment of whether I would be a good match for your particular needs. I think it is vital for clients to feel seen, validated, and connected in order for therapy to be successful.
