Hi, I'm Melanie Storrusten, LCSW. Congratulations on the wise, brave, and kind choice to engage in this work. Our therapy works through the mind-body connection to access healing at deeper levels. The work we love most is walking alongside brave journeyers who are ready and willing to face both their shadow and their light. If you are ready for this work of deeper healing, we would be honored to work with you. I personally currently provide Clinical Supervision (in GA) and Consultation services for other therapists, virtual couples sessions (in GA and FL), and lead community rituals to process big emotions together.
Sessions at Align Wellness include traditional talk therapy, breathing exercises, direction to focus on in-the-moment emotional and physical sensations, creation of a safe container to experience difficult emotion, gentle pushing to shift stuck energies, encouragement of all the things you're doing well, and lightness and laughter to break up the hard parts.
Check out our website for more details about me, the therapists in my practice, and our work together. It is my hope that your work, with our support and walking-alongside style of guidance, will result in your life holding more joy, peace, stability, abundance, and freedom. Reach out today and let's do this brave work together.

I love studying not only within the field of psychotherapy, but also indigenous, earth-honoring spiritual wisdom traditions - where many of our psychological techniques come from. EMDR, IFS, EFT (Emotion-focused Therapy), hypnotherapy, and mindfulness are some of my most prevalent techniques. Systems Theory - looking at societal and intergenerational influences - underpins my work.
