“I have been to a handful of therapists in the past and they just never really worked out. We didn’t click, I often felt misunderstood, and I often felt that I was consistently being enabled. I appreciate Melody’s unbiased perspective and due to her years of experience she is able to provide constructive criticism that is delivered in a kind and thoughtful way without making me feel self-conscious. It’s been a great experience so far and I look forward to future sessions. I feel heard and I feel understood.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Melody. I have meaningfully benefitted from her expertise and advice, and even when I'm going through a challenging time, I look forward to our weekly sessions because I know I will walk away with a renewed sense of empowerment and new tools to overcome those challenges. It's also helpful that she's a great conversationalist and shows clear investment in helping me navigate whatever it is I'm dealing with. Her range is impressive.”

Getting to know Melody Stiles
Do you wish someone truly understood your pain from trauma, whether it happened recently or long ago? I just might be the therapist you're looking for. I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma across the spectrum, including everything from PTSD to Dissociative Disorders. I also have expertise in treating those struggling with substance use disorders. Sometimes we address both simultaneously, and occasionally other challenges come into play as well. I’m someone who adapts to whatever you bring to the table.
I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and use various treatment approaches to help my clients achieve their goals. When you work with me, I see it as a partnership—we collaborate to determine what will be most helpful for you. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Some common approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Strengths-based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Indiana University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor in California and Indiana. Additionally, I teach EMDR to other therapists pursuing certification in this specialty.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My wish is that every client leaves every session with a sense of hope and curiosity about themselves and the future and that they look forward to our next session for further self-exploration.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
