About
Melanie is a LMSW who currently resides in Indianapolis, IN. Melanie obtained her LMSW from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2021. Prior to obtaining her master's degree, she worked in the field of Social Work for over 4 years. During this time, Melanie held positions in case management, foster care, facilitating anger management groups, locating resources for families in need, and advocating for families in the school system and the community.
Melanie is a free-spirited person who loves spending time in nature with her friends and family. Melanie grew up in the "country" so nature walks and fun in the sun are nothing new to her. She loves traveling and, specifically, trips to the beach! A fun fact is that she watches funny cat and dog videos on YouTube to destress after a long day.
Melanie has experienced a great deal in her life which led her to becoming a therapist. Melanie is an open-minded individual who seeks to understand each person and their perspective of the world. Melanie believes that the obstacles in life are unique and special to each person's existence. She prides herself on learning how this plays a role with each client she meets.

Why Healthcare
Melanie believes that mental health is a part of her life that she will never learn enough about. She thinks a person's true experience and understanding of themselves is a gift, and once it is leashed a different perspective of the world is birthed. Melanie also believes that everyone deserves to experience tranquility and contentment.
Happiness is a term that holds many definitions depending on who is describing it, according to Melanie. For this reason, she seeks to learn about what this term means to each person that she supports so that she can help them to obtain this to the best of her ability.
Melanie understands that making the choice to embark on mental health and wellness is very difficult and requires a great deal of vulnerability. She is particularly aware of this as it was difficult for her as a young adult. It was during this time that she learned about the importance of mental health and the journey to obtaining it.
