Melinda Berry, LCSW

Your story is important. I want to hear it, help you express it and fully understand it. Everyone’s story is unique. At times difficulties in expressing or understanding our thoughts and feelings keep us from telling that story – much less fully appreciating how it our lives and relationships.

You are the expert – as your therapist my role is to facilitate your efforts to remove the obstacles in your path. The therapeutic approach I use is the one that works best for you. You are the expert on you, my role is simply to assist you live to your optimal potential.   Our sessions are a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore the issues that brought you to therapy. Together we explore the areas in your life that are causing you distress or difficulty, while developing strategies to facilitate the change you want.

In addition to providing traditional talk therapy to adults and adolescents, I  specialize in working with young children and families. Since children often lack the ability to fully understand and communicate their experiences, thoughts and feelings they cannot participate in traditional talk therapy in a meaningful way. I use art and play therapy techniques to approach each child on their level allowing them to find a means of expression that works for them.
