Getting to know Melanie Brown

Hi, I'm Melanie! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia who has primarily worked with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, ADHD, and substance abuse issues. I am also a school social worker in Virginia and a parent to two young children. I have training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I utilize a strengths based perspective and client centered approach, CBT techniques, and a neurobiological perspective. I am currently in a Doctorate of Social Work program focused on trauma and use knowledge about current evidence informed practice interventions in my work. I focus on connecting with my clients through their interests and using a solution focused approach. I want therapy to be a safe space for my clients and a warm, welcoming environment for all.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients can expect to have a supportive, kind and encouraging therapist who helps empower and heal clients. I am a good active listener and advocate for my clients.

In-network insurances

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.
