Melissa Mader, LPC

My clients describe me as:

Friendly, Open, Warm

Something to know about my approach is:

I incorporate practices of trauma-based, somatic (body) and mindfulness to help you explore what’s going on inside & become more connected with yourself (body & mind), being present in the moment and creating/deepening your relationships.

Together, we will:

Process how your current experience or responses may be a result of trauma. Understanding how anxiety or perfectionism keeps you disconnected from yourself and others.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are you struggling to feel close/connected to others? Is perfectionism or anxiety holding you back? Or maybe, adjusting to a new phase of life is feeling harder than you expected.

I became a therapist because:

I enjoy helping & being able to sit with individuals to understand themselves. It is an incredible experience to see changes during sessions.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer teletherapy, which gives you the opportunity to have your sessions in your own space and with more flexibility in schedule.

Thriving Through Connection Counseling, PLLC- My hope is for individuals to not just heal from struggles and trauma, but to turn that into thriving. Thriving is more than surviving/overcoming difficulties. It is deepening and going beyond.
