About Melinda Newman
Early in her career she served as an in-home provider, helping families access supports to keep young people safely in their homes and communities and to reduce the likelihood of higher levels of care. She later worked in a community mental health setting, where she applied a range of therapeutic modalities to support people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Melinda meets clients where they are and partners with them to identify barriers, clarify personal goals, and build on strengths to create sustainable change. Her practice addresses a broad set of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, relationships and family issues, grief and parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her therapeutic style is compassionate, welcoming, and supportive, and she integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs.
