Getting to know Melanie Stauffer
Experiencing a change of any kind can disrupt one's life in many ways. I specialize in working with clients suffering from depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship problems. I also support clients dealing with grief and loss, infertility, and health issues. With a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and over 15 years of experience, I have worked extensively with families and teens in the system who are suffering from trauma, self-harming behaviors, and peer-related issues. I am also skilled in supporting First Responders, Military personnel, and their families, offering nonjudgmental care. I focus on creating a safe space for healing.
My practice is individualized to meet the specific needs of my clients. I work with adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I teach mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety and depression and promote overall better health. My approach includes helping clients with boundary setting, self-care, and discovering what truly works in their lives.
Please reach out for a free 15-minute consultation, and we will discuss the many ways I can support you. I believe we each have our own answers, and I want to help you find what works for you to overcome the challenges you face. I look forward to becoming a partner in your journey of healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In our work together, I strive to help my clients feel heard, seen and valued. I always offer a resource, practical assignment or tip to support my clients in making progress toward their treatment goals. I create a safe and collaborative space for my clients to share difficult feelings, and I am nonjudgemental in my responses and approach.
