Getting to know Melanie Deckman
Hello, I am Melanie Deckman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. In addition, I am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Florida and a Master of Social Work from Barry University. My experience as a clinician has been with clients suffering from both mental health and substance abuse issues. I have worked in both community mental health and the private sector, across all populations and demographics. As a psychotherapist, I have provided clinical services in all levels of care including residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings.
My goal is to help you overcome any and all personal struggles, both past and present, so you can feel and live the best version of yourself. I realize that all individuals have their own unique set of circumstances. My approach is different with each person, as we all possess variable strengths and challenges. My priorities as we start your journey are transparency, trust, and open communication. Once your goals and needs are established, collaboration takes place.
The clinical interventions I use with my patients are all evidence-based practices. My empathic and warm style enables me to easily establish a therapeutic alliance with my clients. My main goal as a psychotherapist is to build rapport and create a safe environment in which my patients can engage in self-exploration and self-determination. My client-centered and solution-focused approach provides my clients with the ability to problem-solve and increase adaptive coping skills in order to move toward resolution and live a happier life.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
