Congratulations! You have taken an action step in your healing journey, which was seeking support! My name is Melvin, and I specialize in working with youth and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, school avoidance/refusal, and communication challenges. I strive to create a warm, safe & non-judgmental space, that creates a sense of acceptance and belonging. I am committed to using person-centered and culturally responsive therapeutic approaches. Modalities I use in practice are Solution-Focused Therapy, Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognative Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy. I am committed to serving clients from various populations, with an emphasis on serving the Black community, as well as people who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color). I would like to welcome anyone who is ready to start their journey towards healing!
