Hi, I'm Melanie at Connected Wellness Group! I believe healing involves connecting to self- mind, emotions, body, relationships, and communities. I've been in practice for over a decade and I provide services to adults in a relaxed, confidential space using trauma-informed modalities like EMDR and DBT. I am honored to journey with my clients as they explore their pasts, tackle present challenges, and pursue healthier futures. My practice, Connected Wellness Group seeks to improve mental, emotional, and relational health by encouraging a (w)holistic approach to healing.
I use EMDR, DBT, and CBT for a variety of issues including: trauma and complex PTSD, sexual abuse and assault, emotional abuse, family conflict, depression, anxiety, relational stress, self-esteem, parenting, and life transitions. I offer a collaborative, compassionate, strengths based approach to counseling, valuing your voice and agency.
I believe that healing results in establishing a grounded sense of self, meaning, and boundaries. Additionally, Connected Wellness Group offers trauma-informed individual and small group yoga, breathwork, massage and direct referrals to other modalities. At CWG, we believe healing involves the whole person.
