Hi there and welcome! My name is Melanie "Mel" DuBois and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Diego, CA with over 10 years of experience in the social work field. I have worked extensively alongside with first responders and with adults primarily focusing on mood disorders, trauma symptoms, life transitions, relationship challenges and so much more.
I use a mix of modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Brainspotting, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Mindfulness techniques. I also believe that in order for positive change and healing to take place, connection, vulnerability, and a strong therapeutic alliance is key.
My priority as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to enhance your self awareness, empower you to discover your inner strengths, and utilize them on your journey to healing. I look forward to connecting with you and provide guidance as you embark on your journey of self healing!
