Getting to know Melena Slaven

Hi! I am licensed mental health counselor with a Master of Arts in Counseling and 20 years of experience. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and client-centered, grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and interpersonal therapy. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship, meeting clients where they are, and tailoring each session to their pace and needs. I incorporate humor into my work, helping clients navigate challenges one step at a time. You will feel at ease in your first session. I recognize the challenges of deciding to get therapy and will help you stay motivated to continue. I lived overseas for 18 years, so I believe that I bring an open-minded perspective and a deep appreciation for diverse experiences. I have had the privilege of helping individuals from various backgrounds find clarity, resilience, and hope. I became a therapist to guide others through life’s difficult moments in a safe, supportive way. Together, we'll set achievable goals, work toward meaningful change, and leave feeling empowered and more at peace.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
