I've provided short-term, goal directed counseling to individuals and couples for over thirty years and feel extremely fortunate to assist and support my clients. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT (for more information see the Mayo Clinic's description: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cognitive-behavioral-therapy/about/pac-20384610 ). However, I adjust my approach to fit the needs of my unique client. I work collaboratively with my clients and invite their input and preferences as we work together to achieve specific goals.

Melody Hamilton
My name is Melody and I have been in this field for 9 years. I have my Bachelor's in Social work and my Master's degree in Applied Social Sciences with a clinical focus. I went on to become independently licensed to provide counseling services in the state of Ohio. I have experience in many different areas working with individuals, children, and families. The areas I have the most experience in are issues relating to Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive disorder and assessing for the risk of Self-Harm and Suicide. During treatment I utilize a multi-dynamic approach by examining your support system, stressors, and other providers or professionals you may be involved with such as psychiatry, family doctors, teachers and other mental health providers. By assessing the impact these different areas have on your mental health we can explore solutions and improve management of your symptoms. I provide psychoeducation to provide insight into your current situation. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy to examine the impact your thoughts have on your functioning. We will utilize Motivational Interviewing to discover the inner strengths you do possess, as well as Trauma informed interventions. Everyone has experienced trauma and stressors at one point in their life whether they realize it or not. Identifying these events and how they have impacted you is another journey I like to take with clients. I hope to be able to help, and see everyone find peace despite their circumstances.

The Initiation of counseling illustrates that an individual is ready to explore the possibilities of growth and refocusing on their strengths. Gaining the courage to attend the first session can be a major hurdle as we acknowledge that we are vulnerable and something is not working in our best interest. With the stigmatism of mental health, many individuals feel that if they seek counseling they may damaged. This is not the case. Counseling is about individuals seeking a safe environment in which they are able to be supported and gain skills to be able to function more optimally in which their lives can be so much more fulfilling. Change is fostered through acceptance and connection. Reconnecting relationships is a major agent of change, whether between the therapist and the individual, parents and their children, or between partners. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental relationship that will allow for individuals, couples and families to foster healing, growth and repair. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who is certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) while also using rapid resolution therapy (RRT) and accelerated resolution therapy (ART) to eliminate the persistent symptoms left over from experiencing a traumatic event. I employ The Gottman Method with couples and play therapy with children. I also treat sexual and pornography addictions as I’m a certified sexual addictions treatment provider (SATP-C). I focus on various other modalities of therapy such as solutions focused therapy, logotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in order for the client to be able to manage stress, anxiety and depression in a more adaptive manner.
