Getting to know Melanie Sentz

I am genuinely excited about collaborating with you transform your life. Whether you are looking for ways to pull yourself out of depression, searching for tools to control paralyzing anxiety, striving to heal from abuse and trauma, or just trying to figure out what you want your life to look like, I am here to help! If you can sense that something in your life needs to shift, if you feel out of sync with yourself and the people you care about, or if you wake up each day feeling like you are just going through the motions, I can help you sort out what needs to change and how you can build a path to a more fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My entire approach to therapy reflects what drove me to choose a career in this field: this work is incredibly important and your trust in me means that I am going to give my absolute all to arming you with the sense of balance, wellness, and insight that you need to navigate this intense existence. Let's work together to create the life you want to live!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first few sessions, I will get to know you, explore what led you to therapy, and help you identify your goals for treatment. Then, we will work together to sort out specific steps you can take and skills that you can use to better manage the lasting effects of traumatic experiences, to cope with the stress of daily life, and to navigate anxiety, depression, and anything else life throws at you. All of this hard work will occur in the context of the warmth, encouragement, and support you need to make positive changes in your thoughts, your feelings, your concept of yourself, and your ability to manage the ups and downs of life.
