“It's taken me a long time to finally give therapy an honest try, but I'm so glad that I have. There are a lot of things that I already knew and understood about myself, but having someone acknowledge those things and help me in finding the right tools toward healing, has been amazing. We've only just started but Melanie has already been so impactful in my journey towards reclaiming myself.”

Getting to know Melanie Lapeyrolerie
My name is Melanie Lapeyrolerie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I work with adults ages 18-65+ and specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, alcohol, and substance abuse disorders. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients feel better and improve their daily lives.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as these modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality. Together, we work to make progress throughout therapy to resolve issues and heal from emotional disturbances that impact relationships, work, and daily functioning.
My focus
I have worked with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Latino, African American, Asian, LGBTQi+, and individuals from underserved, working-class, and upper socioeconomic backgrounds. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and supportive. I want my clients to feel comfortable discussing what matters most to them, including topics they may find difficult to share. I pride myself on being down-to-earth, authentic, and compassionate, with the gift of listening without judgment.
My journey to therapy
I decided to become a therapist because I always felt a duty to help others. Little did I know that duty would evolve into a career as a healer, helper, teacher, and therapist. I am genuinely interested in helping people heal from their afflictions. I was inspired by my mother, who was a Registered Nurse, and by watching her care for neighbors, family members, and infants in the PICU.
