My name is Javier Meléndez and I am a licensed clinical social worker. As such, I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside others on their journey toward healing and wholeness. I have a love for nature and the outdoors and I believe that reestablishing our connection to nature and the Earth is essential to our physical and psychological well being. In my practice I use mindfulness and embodiment in the context of nature to help empower clients throughout their therapeutic journey. I’m experienced in addressing issues related to spirituality, trauma, and sexual identity for teen clients ages 14-19, as well as for adults.

I treat disorders that accompany these areas such as anxiety, depression, existential distress, eco-grief & parent/child relationship issues. I am able to provide Christian counseling. I identify as bi & support LGBT individuals who have experienced spiritual trauma/abuse, and/or individuals who are going through deconstructing (or rebuilding) their faith.
My hope is that clients become more in tune with their thoughts, emotions, body, and nature in order to more effectively regulate their nervous system, thus promoting a more mindful, embodied, and connected way of life. Together we can work towards self-acceptance, spiritual peace, and conflict resolution within family relationships.
