Melanie Eaton, LCSW
She/Her 

      Sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns in our mind, body, behavior or relationships. We can start to feel anxious or distant from ourselves or our community and our values and passions that get lost along the way. If you made the decision to reach out, you may have tried to make changes or cope on your own, but are struggling to achieve the peace or growth you seek. Therapy offers the comfort of navigating these challenges within the context of a safe and trusting relationship. It can be a place to learn new skills, gain new insights, explore your feelings and doubts, experience unconditional acceptance, reconnect with self acceptance and self love and grow in new ways. 

     Underneath it all, I believe we are balanced, loving, connected and healthy individuals with an inner knowing and power to heal. My passion is to help you reconnect with your inner drive, self acceptance, self trust, purpose and joy and reach your tangible goals in the process. Together we work towards identifying, processing and releasing what does not serve you so you can be more present in your life. My role is to guide you to cultivate curiosity, self trust and compassion for your lived experience and to help you move towards feeling in more control of your life. I believe in your inner knowing to surface and be your ultimate guide. 

       My style has been described as a balance of compassionate, frank, authentic, intuitive, non-judgemental and present. I bring a trauma informed approach with evidenced based practices including psychoeducation, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) and skills building using mindfulness and imagery work. I seek a balance between time to release and process verbally and time for deeper, body based experiential work in service of your therapy goals.
