Melanie Eaton, LCSW
She/Her 

     Most people come to therapy when ways of coping that once helped, no longer do. They talk about anxious thoughts that keep them awake at 2:00 am, constant tension, decision paralysis, lack of motivation, attachment stress, social anxiety or relationship cycles that feel stuck on repeat.
     Therapy offers a safe, supportive relationship where you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Our work together focuses on reducing anxiety, improving self-trust, regulating the nervous system, processing difficult experiences, and reconnecting with a sense of clarity, purpose, and self-acceptance. There is room for seriousness and humor here — because growth usually includes both. 
     My approach is relational, warm, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic awareness and mindfulness to help you feel more present, resourced, and in control of your life. Sessions balance curious conversation with experiential, body-based work that supports lasting change.
     At the core, I believe every person has an inherent capacity for healing and connection. Even when fear or survival strategies feel dominant, there is a wise intuition underneath. My role is to help you access that inner knowing with curiosity, gentle challenge and release — so you can move forward with greater confidence and ease. If you’re not there yet, I’ll hold that vision until you are.
     Clients often describe my style as compassionate, direct, intuitive, and non-judgmental. Together, we identify what no longer serves you, reconnect with what does, and work toward a life that feels more spacious, meaningful, and aligned.
