I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with first responders, veterans, and individuals in other high-stress professions who are navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, depression, and the family and relationship challenges that often accompany these careers. In addition to this population, I also work with mom's who are feeling anxiety, burnout, and depression. It is important to explore difficult experiences, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most to you. Building trust and safety in our sessions is always my first priority.
What makes my practice unique is my personal experience with responder and veteran culture and being a mom, which allows me to offer not only clinical expertise, but a genuine understanding of the realities, pressures, and unspoken challenges that come with these professions.
I am deeply passionate about this work because I see the daily demands you face, and I believe you deserve a space where you are truly understood and supported. My goal is to help you feel mentally healthier, grounded, and better equipped to manage the weight of your work, whatever that might be, so you can continue to serve with strength while also enjoying your life and career.
Hi. My name is Melinda. I have been working in the field of Mental Health and Substance Use/Abuse since 2005. I have been trained and offer resources for CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-informed and many other styles of therapy.
( I currently only provide medication management no individual therapy)
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. My background spans primary care, urgent care, and mental health, allowing me to approach each client with a comprehensive understanding of both physical and emotional well-being.
I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and mood disorders. My practice focuses on providing evidence-based medication management paired with supportive, collaborative care. I believe in meeting clients where they are, empowering them through education, and tailoring treatment plans to their unique needs, preferences, and goals.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and holistic. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported.
If you’re looking for compassionate, thorough, and personalized care, I’m here to help you take the next step in your mental health journey.
Life is hard, but finding the right therapist shouldn't be! In my practice, I strive to make strong, authentic connections with the people I see to support you in your healing and growth. I take a person-centered and relationship-based approach, utilizing action- and insight-based interventions (and a little bit of humor) to help you better understand yourself and life, and take steps towards peace, safety, and happiness. I am a good fit for those looking for empathetic support, to build insight, and to grow and become the best version of themselves.
I am a Licensed Holistic Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Be Transformed Counseling.

I support clients navigating stress, life transitions, emotional pain, and personal transformation. It is my honor to walk alongside you as you pursue clarity, healing, and lasting change.
