Getting to know Dr. Melody Mickens

We never know what surprises or challenges life will throw our way and how they will test our knowledge, strength, and ability to grow or keep moving forward. Have you experienced a recent loss, trauma, or are you feeling stuck in a pattern or relationship that no longer serves you? As a licensed Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University, my role is to help you understand your life experiences, how they have affected you, and how they may have led to symptoms of depression, PTSD, anxiety, grief, and unhealthy relationship patterns that keep you stuck. My practice focuses on trauma treatment and managing mood and anxiety disorders. My goal is to partner with you to understand your experiences, provide empathy, and use my professional expertise to highlight new ways of coping so that you can grow and achieve your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a skilled clinician and listener, my purpose is to offer you space to explore your concerns, learn new ways to approach problems and break patterns that no longer serve you and to help you learn self-compassion as you cope with whatever challenges, disappointments, or surprises life has thrown your way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I like to take my time getting to know you and understanding your concerns from your perspective. Our work wil lbegin with 1-2 sessions focused on an intake evaluation which includes diagnostic questionnaires. I review the results of these with you and explain the treatment plan. Our work includes 60 minute sessions weekly to address your concerns for at least 3-6 months.
