Getting to know Melinda Walker

I am very skilled at supporting clients going through major life changes, such as new or chronic illnesses, aging, grief, loss of relationship, change of job, mid-life transitions or retirement. Our identities evolve as we navigate life transitions and losses. It can be hard to trust that someone else can meet you in that space. The feeling of vulnerability can be overwhelming. Having worked as a Palliative Care and Oncology Social Worker, I have extensive experience supporting clients with grief and loss. I have seen how it can be difficult and objectifying to interface with doctors and the medical system in in the face of illness. I lean towards a conversational, psycho-dynamic, insight-oriented model, and work to create a collaborative alliance, adapting my approach to the individual. I bring compassion, sensitivity and creativity to the therapeutic relationship and work intuitively with my clients. I listen deeply to who you are and bring much life experience to my work. I believe it is important to create space and safety for the expression of the many voices within us so that our individual complexity can be understood and valued. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in the State of WA and received my Master’s degree in Social Work from the UW. I have training in Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP.
