Testimonials

Melinda has helped me finally get to the heart of the matter after all these years of trying multiple therapists. She is direct, clear and gives practical strategies. Nothing in my past surprised or horrified her. She always saw the best in me and gave me hope.

Melinda has helped me understand how my anxiety and depression can be managed successfully. She has given me tools to manage my thinking and to stop beating myself up. I feel alive again.
-- Single female, 25, Saratoga

With Melinda I get the truth, and I get hands on practical ways to change my thinking. I have healed tremendously though her patience and compassion, but also through her persistence in challenging me to believe in myself.

Couples Counseling

Has your relationship hit a brick wall? Have you been told to get counseling or get out? Do you feel alone in working on your marriage?

Couples counseling is for you if you no longer feel you can find the answers, or if you want to make sure the answers you've thought of are going to take you in the right direction.

Believe it or not, couples counseling often begins with just one partner. This is because many past issues of family addiction or abuse can contaminate a person's current relationship and need to be understood before attempting to solve relationship difficulties.

Before you can be a strong couple, you may need to become a stronger YOU. Once that happens, getting help together is very useful for many challenges:
  • Learn how to be a safe partner
  • Manage anger so you don't get furious about little things
  • Start seeing the good in each other
  • Stop having the same fight over and over
  • Learn how to communicate so that your partner can hear you
  • Develop compassion for the other person
  • Let go of past hurts and move forward in your relationship
Couples counseling, in which both partners take responsibility for their own behavior, can be a powerful healing experience. In fact, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give your spouse and yourself. The work may be hard, but the journey is one of hope.
