Getting to know Melanie Barefield

I am glad you're here! 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 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. In my professional journey I have worked in different settings 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) alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy tailoring my approach to your unique needs. I am traied in Trauma-Focused CBT for those looking to complete a more in-depth healing from past traumatic experiences. My background in family therapy allows me to incorporate Family Systems Theory in both family sessions and also in my work with individuals. Sometimes, understanding how the family dynamic has impacted you can help you improve interactions in the relationships you were born into as well as in those relationships you have chosen. 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.
