Female Therapists in Ranger, GA

My name is Ena (pronounced ee-nah) Melton-Myers. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. For me, therapy is about growth for you in whatever way is going to have the most positive impact on you at this time. In some phases of our life, growth is in small steps that help break down the things that seem overwhelming. In other phases of our life, we are ready for growth that feels like leaps and bounds. Our time together should focus on what you need at this moment to be better tomorrow. I've been very fortunate to work with a wide array of clients and am comfortable treating most conditions.

As a therapist specializing in both young children and young adult women, I recognize the unique challenges each group faces. For children aged 7 to 11, struggles with self-esteem, sadness, friendships, and school can be overwhelming. They may retreat inward when distressed, making it hard for parents to connect. Moreover, the burden of worrying excessively about others’ opinions can drown out their voices. Parents, while supportive, often find themselves unsure of how best to help. In my practice, I specialize in Play Therapy and Child-Centered approaches, offering a safe environment for children to explore their emotions.

Is it difficult to get past your own self-doubt? Is your mind clouded with thoughts of anxiety, or sadness? Do you feel mad at the world sometimes?

 You aren’t alone. Many of us have been there, and it’s possible to come back to who you’re meant to be. You’ve already made the first step, just by reading this with an open mind.

I am interested in patients who want to be joyful and content, to cherish their relationships and appreciate the present. Many of us feel pressured, juggling many obligations, believing we need more, more achievements, more things. This "unsatisfactoriness" leads to depression and anxiety. We will suffer less if we appreciate the present more, whether we are caring for children or an aging parent or facing aging ourselves. I am interested in helping people who want to become happier by living in the present and letting go of beliefs that create suffering.

From the moment an individual or couple walks through my door, I advocate for feelings of safety and understanding. My special interest in supporting first responders and medical professionals has taught me how necessary it is to use defense mechanisms to survive painful experiences and relationships. Sometimes these defense mechanisms enter into other areas of our lives and keep us from feeling safe, secure, confident, and connected. With every step you take in your healing journey, I will walk alongside offering effective tools, humor and metaphors, and endless empathy for you to create the life you want to live.

Allow me to create a safe space for you to become a master at communicating your needs, feel more comfortable in your body, and experience safe and pleasurable intimate encounters. I am also knowledgable about Kink/BDSM as well as I am poly-affirmative therapist.
