Melinda Melanie Counseling
ONLINE CHRISTIAN THERAPY FOR WOMEN SEEKING SUPPORT FROM ANXIETY AND TRAUMA IN CALIFORNIA
About Me
Hello, my name is Melinda and I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California since 2017. I graduated in 2012 from Loma Linda University with an MS in Counseling and PPS in School Counseling.
Throughout my career, I noticed the need for normalizing mental health support in our Christian community. Rather than seeing mental health treatment as something separate from our spiritual lives, I believe we need to integrate the two areas for the most effective treatment and to end the current stigma with getting help.
As a domestic violence survivor and mom of three, I am especially passionate about providing support and encouragement to other women who may be healing from a destructive relationship, struggling to manage motherhood demands, doubting her God given value, or simply dealing with every day anxiety. I understand the way the enemy uses destructive thought cycles to lead to shame, self-doubt, confusion, and keep you from fully living the life God has intended you to live.
I never envisioned my testimony being the way it has been but God has also allowed me to find hope and freedom from allowing anxiety and trauma to take over my life. You can also learn how to “take every thought captive” and submit them to God to free yourself from this cycle.
I have been honored to be entrusted by many different clients in various stages of life. I have seen God’s ability to help my clients use the very part of their story that they felt most shame about to help them become stronger, more resilient, and more connected to God.
I would love to offer support and be part of your story as you work towards a life free from allowing emotions or past trauma to control you.
