Melanie Cooke, M.A., Ed.M., LMHC

My clients describe me as:

Curious & warm. I liken sessions to the feeling of sitting for a cup of tea -- safe, present, and inquisitive.

Something to know about my approach is:

Creativity, vulnerability, & playfulness are key parts of working with me. I practice trauma-informed IFS and Gestalt therapies, along with body based mindfulness because our emotions, fears, and wounds rest in our bodies as well as our minds.

Together, we will:

Unlock that 'imposter' feeling so that you can find more fulfillment and enjoyment in your life, as well as unlearn anxious/avoidant attachment to find a sense of security in the delicate balance of closeness and space that relationships require.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are curious about themselves, the way they interact with the world, and the way the world interacts with them. I specialize in working with people who want to feel more whole and don't know how, who want an active therapist to help them learn.
