My name is Melinda (Dawn) East, LCSW. I have been in private practice for 25+ years. My approach to therapy is client centered and strength based. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from many disciplines: cognitive, behavioral, trauma focused, psychodynamic. My goal is to provide hope, healing and growth to my clients. My areas of expertise are: trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and LBGTQIA.
Over 25 years I have worked with many clients with many different presenting issues. I have treated clients with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders and LBGTQIA issues the most.
My tone/environment is laid back. I want people to feel comfortable and safe. I want them to know they are in a non judgmental space.
