Getting to know Melody Carnes

I recognize that reaching out for support can be both a courageous and vulnerable step. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you are returning to it, I'm here to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you'd like to be. I work with individuals who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, serious illness, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. I believe that healing happens in a safe, trusting partnership, and my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought or behavioral patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include other evidence-based practices. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating the emotional weight of depression, anxiety, serious or chronic illness, life transitions, and grief. My ideal clients are often feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or isolated in their experiences- and are seeking a safe, supportive space to process their emotions, rebuild a sense of meaning, and reconnect with themselves. Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, stressors related to life transitions, facing uncertainties of a medical diagnosis, or struggling with persistent feelings of sadness or worry, I am here to walk alongside you in a safe, supportive environment. My communication style In my work with clients, I bring a warm, compassionate, and grounded presence. My communication style is supportive and straightforward.
