Getting to know Melanie Edwards
It can be difficult navigating life’s many changes and challenges alone. One of the reasons that I became a therapist after a previous career in international affairs is because I have witnessed what can happen when a person feels seen, heard, and supported. Healing can happen. Recovery from trauma is possible. I have specialized training and experience in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, life stressors, ADHD, and trauma. I believe that change happens in relationship, and my clients and I work together as a team. I listen closely to my clients’ concerns, goals, and values as we work together. My goal is to empower my clients to make the meaningful changes that they seek. Wellness and fostering joy are really important to me. That’s why when I’m not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, practicing mindfulness, reading, and spending time with my family.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
