Getting to know Melinda Andres

Hi there, I'm Melinda! Hi! Thank you for reading my bio. I am certified in treating trauma and ADHD using different modalities, including EMDR, Person-Centered, Solution-focused, Humanistic approaches, and others. I also provide treatment for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), anxiety, anger, depression, and marital/premarital counseling. My focus I work with adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I'll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. My approach My approach starts with identifying the root cause of symptoms, working backwards to facilitate healing. I utilize various modalities tailored to each individual's needs. My communication style I place a high value on transparent, open communication to foster a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere. I engage in active listening and provide you with opportunities to reflect on your experiences, standing by your side as an empathetic partner. When we encounter challenges together, you can count on me to remain calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare As a former nurse, helping others has always been my passion. My personal experiences with suffering have motivated me to assist others in navigating difficult seasons in their lives. I believe it is important not to waste the experience of suffering but to use it to help others. My goals for you I see therapy as a partnership where we identify and set goals that are meaningful to you, whether it's improving relationships or building self-esteem. As we progress, your goals can evolve, and we can adapt our plan to keep it relevant. I'm here to support you with the tools you need to move closer to your objectives.
