Getting to know Melinda Jiminez
Hi there, I'm Melinda!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked with individuals and families across the continuum of life transitions. I’ve enjoyed working, over the last 25 years, in school health programs with children/adolescents aged 5-18, nursing homes, community-based behavioral health services for children, families & adults, hospice, and palliative care. My focus is on helping clients feel confident in managing their challenges, supported in coping with their thoughts, feelings, and circumstances, as well as being empowered to regain their sense of centeredness and control.
My approach
My approach is strength-based and person-centered, allowing the client to drive their journey with guidance and support towards reaching their therapeutic goals. I use a blend of behavioral, mindfulness, and experiential therapeutic interventions. I believe in tailoring my approach to the person, working closely with each individual to create a toolbox of resources and coping skills that enables them to feel confident managing future challenges. You can expect to hear words like capacity, compassion, and curiosity throughout our sessions.
My focus
I mostly work with adults and couples. I have worked with individuals suffering from chronic illnesses, depression, having adjustment difficulties, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, managing aging, stress, caregiver distress, parenting, life transitions, and anger/frustration. I use a trauma-informed lens and am mindful of the intersections of culture and religion on how we perceive and address challenges in life.
My communication style
I have been told sessions feel like talking to an old friend without the fear of judgment. I have a gentle yet direct approach. I believe in the power of words and lean towards positive strength-focused language. I approach all with compassionate curiosity, allowing clients to feel comfortable in their sense of vulnerability when processing thoughts and feelings.
