You’ve spent a lot of your life just “getting through it”. Despite a lot of difficulties in your childhood, and even your early adult life, you’ve managed to bulldoze through it all and stay on track as much as you could. But now that you’re through it (at least mostly), your past seems to be catching up to you. Your relationships with significant others, friends, family and even yourself seem to be challenging. You’re realizing now that maybe “just getting through it” wasn’t enough, and it is time to get some support for yourself, whether you really want to or not. Slowing down is really difficult, but it's time.

Shame dies when stories are told in safe places. Your story matters. Experiencing trauma can make us feel alone, ashamed, & burdened with self-doubt. When you take the brave step toward therapy and healing, you no longer have to do that alone. I work to hold a safe space so that each person who comes to me is able to openly share their story while learning how to access the tools to heal all wounds that they carry. I use Internal Family Systems as an approach to work on the root of pain and to help clients heal. I am certified in DBT therapy to help individuals regulate their emotions and build skills to navigate relationships.

My name is Melinda Goodwin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I have 21 years of experience doing individual therapy sessions as well as facilitating groups and couples/family sessions. I have spent my career helping individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, relationship issues, family discord and stress. I am very passionate about helping individuals actualize their full potential and work to remove any barriers that may arise.

Many people who seek mental health services struggle to find a clinician who is both personable and effective. The most important factor in therapeutic success is the therapeutic relationship. I am not the right fit for everyone, but finding the right professional is key. My work includes working with difficult to treat individuals as well as those who have experienced previous treatment failures. I am also a forensic psychologist and conduct evaluations of individuals involved with the legal system and often provide expert testimony. If you think I might be able to help you achieve your therapeutic goals, please contact me.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery.

By guiding my clients towards greater self-awareness and a better understanding of their personal desires, I then work to help my clients develop a path to achieve their goals.

I have a true passion for working with adults and adolescents who are suffering from an inability to form healthy relationships with their loved ones. My office offers a warm setting for people of all ages to feel safe and explore their "child within". I use play and art therapy as well as evidenced based techniques to empower parents and help them to connect with their child and unlock their full potential.

I welcome someone who is ready to make life changes and would like assistance to take them from where they are to where they want to be. A willingness to work with a supportive, experienced (since 1979) social worker/therapist who uses dynamic and interactive approaches, knowing that I am the guide, and you are the one who knows yourself best and that healing comes from within. Relationship, self esteem, body image, career goals, family challenge, sexuality, spirituality, illness, loss, addiction, depression or anxiety related issues. I offered my first TEDx talk called Overcoming the Taboo of Touch, about platonic touch by consent.

After working for over 42 years as a psychotherapist/psychoanalyst I welcome patients who are ready to do in depth work in psychotherapy and find lasting change.

Trained as an Interventionist, I also prepare and collaborate with families and organizations in conducting interventions with a person experiencing behavioral problems.

I'm a Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience. I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and my open mind and heart to my clients.

I work with my clients to co-create a therapeutic relationship that allows each person to face their issues and wounds and to embark on a journey of recovery and healing. I believe that the resources for healing lie within the individual. My job is to help to unblock those resources to allow emotional, physical, spiritual and relationship growth to occur.

Reaching out to find help can be a difficult & stressful process. It is my goal to try & make that process as easy & comfortable as possible.
