Getting to know Melanie Kohn

Over the span of 13 years in this field, I am grateful to witness the healing of diverse populations-both racially and culturally. I truly care about connecting and listening to peoples’ stories. I'm committed to providing a down to earth, reliable approach of guiding people toward learning how to trust themselves. I know it can be scary and uncomfortable to uncover the truth, even to ourselves, but I believe it's HOW we unravel the truth that helps us understand what it means to us.

What should a new client know about working with you?

The therapeutic relationship is the blueprint for the work outside of the session, and I enjoy when one is trying to find their voice for themselves and in their relationships. I am passionate about healing generational trauma in families. We will investigate past and present relationship dynamics to identify common patterns and dysfunction, as a means to stop the cycle.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I often use a psychodynamic approach: diving deeper into one's family values, beliefs, and relationship patterns with yourself and others. During the span of our work together, the hope is to reach a greater understanding of yourself, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself and others. This elicits the ability to rewrite the script of your life, and be in the driver's seat of the car.
