My name is Melanie Spector, and I am currently accepting new patients. My counseling style is to help people feel safe and to maintain a sense of trust and unconditional positive regard with each person. Many individuals struggle with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship issues and trauma. Unfortunately, many life-lived experiences can diminish joy and a fun filled, healthy and meaningful life. I look to the strengths and resources that are unique to each person. I collaborate with clients to identify, process and make meaning of experiences so they are able to move forward with motivation and well being.

I am currently taking new clients. My goal in counseling is to create a comfortable and trusting environment to explore areas of life that are challenging, stressful or ineffective. My style is compassionate, encouraging and motivating. Through individual oriented services that utilize research-validated treatment approaches, I strive to empower clients to increase self-worth and gain new insights of possible solutions. My focus is on the client's experience and assisting each person to achieve their goals. Treatment is confidential, person-centered and strength based.

We all want to feel connected, nurtured and loved in our relationships. When disconnection happens, we experience both emotional and physical pain; loneliness and isolation keep us distant. We get trapped in negative cycles and aren’t sure how to reconnect in love and trust. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help you stop the cycle, heal the relationship pain that keeps you stuck, improve communication and bring love and connection back into your relationship. In addition to being an EFT therapist, I am also a national provider for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) a model that treats trauma and PTSD.

Sometimes life throws problems at you that are bigger than you know how to handle. Struggling with pain can make you wonder where or when you went wrong or if there's something you could have done differently. You feel like you've tried everything but nothing seems to work and you're worried things will get worse. You might feel disconnected from others or even yourself. You do not have to live with shame and guilt. Working with someone who understands you can open up possibilities for change and growth to help you get your life back.

Everyone experiences a time in their life when it is difficult to function at their full potential. Emotions and relationships can often overwhelm our daily functioning and we experience a feeling of being stuck in our current situation. These difficult emotions have often been a part of us for so long that we do not realize there is a different way of living. If you are struggling with emotions, relationships, addiction or you find yourself repeating the same patterns, I would like the opportunity to work with you.

Do you feel as if you are lost, at a crossroads, not sure which way to turn? According to Henry Miller, "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things." As we travel through life, we find many roadblocks and speed bumps along the way. There are times when we need help, someone to navigate, to help us find an easier, better way, someone to help us find our direction and guide us to our destination. A Calm Safe Place is ready to help you navigate life's twists and turns. Call today, and let's take that trip together.

“You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside and hustle for your worthiness.” (B.Brown) Often times, it can feel like you're not the author of "your story." If you're experiencing negative emotions such as shame, anger, bitterness, self-doubt, resentment, or disappointment, you may feel stuck. Having a safe environment in which you can feel accepted and can explore why you're feeling stuck can help you find the solutions you need to move forward. As a result, you can create the story of your life, the way you want it to be. i you're struggling in any of these areas, I'd love to help you find your worthiness.

If you’re having difficulty in reaching your goals and creating the rich, full life you want, I can help you! Together, you and I will uncover thought patterns which are negative and self-defeating and help you come to a deeper understanding of yourself. We can explore feelings and identify behaviors that are limiting or self-destructive. Using a mindfulness approach and acceptance-based strategies, I will help you examine your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, allowing you to experience greater freedom and inner peace so you have healthier and more satisfying relationships.

All humans have inherent worth, yet a lack of self-worth is at the core of all emotional pain. I use a narrative approach to allow clients to share their story as they see it, and then help them change their story to better meet life goals. Self-defeating behaviors created throughout one's life to cope with difficult situations, such as trauma, gender identity and a lack of validation, can be changed when identified and understood. I join my client on their journey to become the person they desire. I have received training specific to the Foundations of Transgender Health to help my practice of affirming gender equality.

After more than 25 years of experience as a therapist, I still am excited about helping clients to obtain the changes they desire. My training in brief therapy prepared me to practice short-term, solution-oriented counseling. I enjoy working with all ages, including individuals, couples and families. It is an honor and a pleasure to watch my clients achieve awesome improvements in their lives.

I have been working as a therapist for over 20 years and have gained much from my clients’ and my own personal experiences. Through the years, I have learned that there is not a one-size-fits-all modality for therapy. I will work with you using a variety of techniques including mindfulness, CBT, Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Challenging, and Play Therapy - to name a few.

Most of my work involves creating secure attachments in romantic or family relationships. As humans we are biologically wired for connection so when our close relationships are strong, we feel loved and at ease. But when we feel disconnected from the people we love the most, we often feel frustrated, anxious and alone. Emotionally Focused Therapy is specifically designed to create new cycles for bonding so your relationship becomes a safe haven for you and your loved one.

The main goal of my services is to offer specialized guidance to the community to help individuals understand & move through the process of grief. We all have events of loss throughout our lives...divorce, loss of finances, pets, loss of health, loss of loved ones through death. The services that I offer can help you to understand healthy ways to express your grief & heal your life.

Counseling provides the opportunity for growth and self-discovery in the context of a safe, supportive, and therapeutic relationship. My therapeutic orientation draws on several counseling theories. Together the client and I work to identify thoughts and beliefs that may impact feelings, as well as deepen their understanding of choices they make and patterns in their life. Basic to my approach is a respect for a person and his or her ability to grow and change. I believe people possess a desire to heal and grow.

Each of us encounters moments when life leaves us feeling overwhelmed and underprepared. When we experience these challenges, it's common for sadness, worry, and conflict to leave us emotionally drained or off-balance. We may even find ourselves focusing more on the past or in the future than we are on the present moment. It is my privilege as a counselor to help clients explore these challenges, develop personal, relationship, and wellness goals, prepare for obstacles that may get in the way of meaningful change, and begin to mindfully recommit to living their best life possible.

My professional focus is with adult women struggling with life, relationships and general stressors. Marriage, friendships and parenting are just a few examples. Are you unhappy, worried or just can't seem to find joy? When we stop taking care of ourselves and live according to other people's expectations, we lose our authentic self - we lose the ability to experience joy and wholeness. By working with a therapist in a positive and accepting environment, you can uncover your strengths and gain the tools to cope with difficult times.
