Hi, I’m Melanie Medero!
If you’re here, you may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or struggling to manage the demands life has thrown your way. Perhaps you’re seeking a space where you can untangle life’s challenges, connect with your own strengths, and learn new ways to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships. Whether it’s the impact of past experiences or the pressures of daily life, you’re looking for support to help you feel empowered and resilient as you navigate these moments.
In our work together, you’ll find a supportive and non-judgmental space where your experiences and feelings are deeply valued. My approach is rooted in a strengths-based and systemic perspective, which means I view your challenges within the context of your relationships and life experiences. Together, we’ll explore how these elements interact and impact your well-being.
I am trauma-focused and trained in EMDR, allowing me to help you process and heal from both significant traumas and everyday adversities. This process involves guiding you to reconnect with your inherent resilience and build a stronger sense of self-confidence. Our sessions are collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, blending therapeutic techniques that best support your journey toward healing and growth.
I work best with clients who are motivated to explore their inner world and ready to take active steps toward positive change. Whether you’re facing interpersonal struggles, processing past trauma, or simply seeking to improve your overall life satisfaction, I’m here to support you every step of the way."

In addition to my foundational training, I am credentialed in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS), and Bounce Back, all of which enhance my trauma-informed approach. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am currently working toward full certification in this powerful therapeutic modality."
