Welcome! My name is Melanie Watkins and I am a licensed professional counselor in NC and VA. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults, and premarital couples. My desire is to be a collaborative and empowering presence in the lives of my clients. I utilize a variety of evidence based techniques to help clients toward their goals (see below for treatment modalities used).
A note to parents/caregivers of young children: It is no small thing to entrust an outside presence, such as myself, to have influence in your child’s life. I take great care in the way I work with parents toward their child’s improvement and seek to be very collaborative in how to promote positive change.
