Melinda Vesely
Counselor, LCPC, CADC
I help angry kids, provide hope for frustrated parents, and distant couples get connected. Are you struggling to cope with life's daily challenges? Is your anxiety holding you back from achieving your goals? I work with people who have experience trauma, abuse, and survived toxic environments. I believe that everyone can improve their lives through counseling. Life does not have to be filled with suffering, stress, anxiety, or depression. I base my treatment off of the belief that we heal through the mind, body, and spirit. I offer a unique approach to counseling with a sense of humor.
I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Biofeedback. These types of therapy have been proven to have success in reducing anxiety, PTSD and depressing in only a few sessions!
Most people notice a shift in their life after the first session! If you are ready to make life changes I am honored to help guide you! I HAVE NIGHT AND WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS OPEN!
