Melinda Padmore, LCSW

Melinda Padmore, LCSW

Psychotherapist
MD
Hello! I'm Melinda, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Virginia. In 2014, I graduated from Kean University in New Jersey with a master's degree in Social Work. With over 5 years of counseling experience, I've had the privilege of working in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, therapeutic foster care, and outpatient counseling settings. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach to therapy and deepened my understanding of the unique challenges my clients face. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, and major life transitions. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in a client-centered approach, where your needs and goals are at the forefront of our work together. I integrate cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing therapy techniques to help you gain new perspectives on your challenges and develop healthy coping mechanisms. My aim is to support you in maximizing your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns, and work towards meaningful change. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives and am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be your authentic self. If you're ready to take the next step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out. Let's embark on this journey together.
