Getting to know Melanie Dowler

Hi there, I'm Melanie! Choosing to go to therapy can be a big decision, but an important one! I am glad you are here. I can help you with your child, your family dynamic, or your own experiences. People come to therapy for numerous reasons....parenting, daily stressors, family challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, school difficulties, ADHD, autism, behavioral challenges... the list is endless and nothing is insignificant. I welcome the opportunity to talk to you to see how I can help. My approach I am a very person-centered therapist with an eclectic approach. That means I look to use the therapy method that works best for you. I listen to you and help you explore problem situations and find answers. I provide education in areas that may be helpful to you and teach skills necessary for behavior change. I am trained in trauma therapies to include EMDR and Birth to five child parent psychotherapy. My focus I work with the entire life spectrum birth to the elderly. I really enjoy working with parents and young children, but I have experience in numerous areas to include serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depression, anxiety, depression, parenting, ADHD, Autism. My communication style I am very open in my communication. If you have questions at any time I welcome them and I will seek out answers for you if I do not know an answer. I appreciate feedback from clients as that is how I help you, by knowing how you are doing and what is working and not working for you. My journey to mental healthcare I have worked in the field of mental health for 21 years. I started working in day programs and group homes with individuals with serious mental illness. I knew that I did not want to supervise group homes for the rest of my life, and had to make a decision. That is when I decided to get my degree in mental health counseling.
