Melody is a licensed master social worker who has worked in the mental health profession for over nine years in Colombia and Greene County.

She is passionate about helping people find the tools to overcome challenges and live their best lives.

Her approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, anti-oppression, holistic healing, self-compassion, and a profound respect for each person's unique experiences and perspectives. She utilizes self-compassion-focused approaches that intersect with mindfulness-based approaches.

She works closely with her clients to create a safe and supportive space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs without judgment. She draws from various evidence-based therapies to tailor her sessions to fit your needs and goals, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and motivational interviewing.

She enjoys spending time with friends, hiking, reading, and dancing in her free time.
