During the course of my career I have worked in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric, and a tribal clinic.

Some of the specific techniques used are derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I consider myself eclectic in nature and strive to meet the individual needs of people served. I have specialized training in grief and loss, trauma/sexual abuse, and co-occurring disorders. It is my belief that we are all capable of healing and reaching a healthy balance in our lives. There is no greater privilege than to take this healing journey with someone and to see how much they can truly achieve. I am very blessed.

I am Melody McKibbin, a licensed therapist. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach by clicking on my name on this page. I specialize in personality disorders and Christian faith-based counseling. I am certified in DBT and a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider specializing in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I am pursuing my Ph.D in Psychology at Liberty University with a concentration in Theology. I have 4 years of experience in private practice and community mental health settings and am passionate about serving individuals ages 25 and up. I’m from Texas, have been married for 14 years, and have a teenage daughter and two Russian Blue cats. Outside of work, I love painting, hanging with my Russian Blue cats, writing fiction, and spending time with friends. I became a therapist because I enjoy helping people grow into their best selves. I identify as a conservative Christian, and I can incorporate faith-based counseling and Biblical insights into our sessions. Psalm 91:11-12 "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways, they will lift you in their hands so you will not strike your foot against a stone."

I am licensed in Washington with 20 years of professional work experience in Illinois, Iowa, and Washington. My professional experience has been largely in schools, working with children, youth, and parents/caregivers. I also have worked in behavioral health with adults with chronic mental illness. Additionally, I have worked with youth around school issues, family challenges, peer relationships. I have worked with college students of all ages. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & coping with life changes. I believe in clients' capacity for change and for knowing what they need and when they are ready to make changes. In support of this, I believe in focused, short-term, problem-solving approaches such as CBT, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing. I believe that it is also important to understand the context - change is easier with the support of others. It is important to recognize structural sources of life challenges as well - sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism, etc. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma with compassionate, personalized care. I offer a welcoming therapeutic environment that honors diverse experiences and backgrounds. My approach is deeply attuned to individual needs, whether you're struggling with self-love, isolation, grief, or life transitions like divorce. I understand the nuanced emotional journeys of both women and men, and I'm committed to supporting clients through their unique healing processes. My clinical work is grounded in creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, with genuine empathy and professional guidance.

Midwest trained, and licensed in California & Washington, I have spent 50 years in the field of counseling & supervisory education. Now, in retirement, I offer a limited number of consultations. Still, I want to continue supporting people who are actively engaged in improving their relationships & addressing life changes. My style is interactive with a bit of humor; & I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, nor do I encourage diagnostic ones. (I find them misused & often reductionistic, which is not helpful.) It takes courage to seek joy in life and step forward into change. And if you are wanting to do that, I am very glad to facilitate your efforts. PS I do not keep notes; so what is said is completely confidential. My intake sessions (at just 20-30 minutes) are for the purpose of checking mutual chemistry & our ability to work well together. By letting me know immediately if you might prefer a different therapist, I can help make that happen sooner than later; and session success has a lot to do with ease of communication, so do be picky. Again, I have only limited session time-slots. All are midday, on Tuesdays or Thursdays, & you will need to choose the same hour each week, to avoid booking someone else’s session time. Booking your time, 3 sessions forward will prevent that from happening. [PS: Generally, ‘short term' counseling is roughly 12 sessions, affording time to make good insights & progress.] I invite your questions, going forward. And my best wishes on your personal growth path. I look forward to meeting you!
