Melanie Eaton, LCSW
She/Her 

Most people come to therapy when they notice patterns that no longer serve them — anxious thoughts keeping them awake at 2:00 am, physical tension, decision paralysis, lack of motivation for life, attachment wounding, social anxiety or challenging relationship cycles.

Therapy offers a safe, supportive relationship where you can explore these challenges with guidance instead of going through them alone. Together, we build skills, reduce anxiety, improve esteem and effectiveness in communication and relationships, laugh together at life's paradoxes, regulate our nervous systems, increase insight and motivation, process heavy experiences and reconnect you with a sense of self-acceptance and inspired purpose.

My approach is relational, warm, humorous and grounded in evidence-based modalities. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help you feel more present, resourced, and in control of your life. We balance time for verbal processing with experiential, body-based work that supports lasting change.

At the core, I believe every person has an inherent capacity for healing, clarity, and connection. If you're not there yet, I will hold the belief until you arrive. Beneath fear, stress, and survival strategies is a wise inner self with the ability to move toward growth. My role is to help you access that inner knowing — with curiosity, compassion, and supportive challenge — so you can live with more confidence, presence, and joy.

Clients describe my style as compassionate, direct, intuitive, grounded, and non-judgmental. I bring both practical skill-building and deep emotional work to our sessions in service of your goals. Together, we identify and release what no longer serves you, reconnect with what matters most, and cultivate a life that feels more spacious, meaningful, and aligned.
