She moves through the wilderness with beauty and grace. Fervor for finding the moments of peace between the chaos. A veil of truth lifted at every fork. Shame sweeps but falls to the stream, swept away with pebbles whenever lost. The water points the way with new depths to explore beneath the mystery of the human condition. Flawed, free, and final.

If you feel like there is a part of you that is lost or disconnected and you aren’t sure how to honor your core, my favorite thing about my work is helping people assemble the threads that complete their life tapestry. I offer a cozy and comforting environment to help regulate your nervous system and invite the feeling of acceptance with self and others.

I am here to lift a burden, gently nudge, and validate all of your experiences. I believe in strength based techniques and empowerment above all else!

Amy Lippman

Pre-Licensed Professional, tLMFT

Mellette is the kind of therapist a client deserves to have. She is accepting, humorous, kind, direct, creative, and conversational. Mellette excels in the therapy room, using her practical knowledge to keep sessions grounded. I admire her greatly!

Grant Alan Brown

Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

Mellette treats her clients seriously, gently, and with respect. Mellette's is the friend you want with you on a poorly planned adventure: the kind where you loose your wallet and skin your knee, but end up eating French fries on the pier, under the stars.

Samantha Jacobo

Pre-Licensed Professional

Mellette is such a radiant therapist. She is authentic and welcomes authenticity. She brings warmth, generosity, compassion while simultaneously welcoming a healing space for change.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

EMDR
Feminist
Psychodynamic

I use feminist therapy, family systems theory, and EMDR as my main approaches to treatment. In a first session we will get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. We will examine family history and begin to identify patterns that connect to your current presentation of symptoms. We can stay here, or delve deeper with focused trauma work.
