Getting to know Melanie Shmois

Hello, I'm Melanie. Your brain is the most powerful organ you possess, yet most of us aren't taught how to train it to create the results we want in our lives. When I discovered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) during my graduate studies and life coach training, I knew I had to share its transformative power with my clients. With a Master's degree from Case Western Reserve University and over 20 years of experience in private practice, I am dedicated to helping you uncover your true desires, understand the obstacles in your way, and plan to overcome resistance to achieve your goals. My approach is empathetic and practical. I love equipping my clients with various tools to use outside of our sessions, ensuring you have the resources to keep moving forward. I believe in the power of CBT to help you feel better and master emotional balance. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, navigating life transitions, or managing stress, I am here to support you. In addition to my private practice, I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings at the Veterans Hospital. This experience has enriched my understanding of mental health, thanks to the insights gained from working with an interdisciplinary team. I focus on adults, using cognitive behavioral strategies to foster emotional strength and resilience. If you're looking for more emotional strength and balance in your life, I invite you to reach out to me. Together, we can work towards creating the life you desire.
