More about Melinda
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Colorado with 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, severe mental illnesses, healthy sexuality, grief and loss, life transitions, as well as, career fatigue. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and client centered. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, holistic, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I strive to meet you where they are in your journey.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Melinda is still the absolute best therapist I have ever experienced. I’ve been going to her for years and have spoken to many people.
Melinda is caring, thoughtful and very easy to work with. She’s really been a savior in my dark times
I really enjoyed our sessions. She is very thoughtful and her responses, and has been very helpful for me.
Melinda is fantastic! By far the best therapist I have ever worked with and highly recommended.
Melinda was very helpful in my journey to regain Self-confidence, Self-Esteem and most importantly love for myself. The tools she shared with me were very effective in changing my internal negative talk as well as helping me identify and select the thoughts going through my head that helped me towards my goals. I’m just scratching the surface here, but Melinda is a great therapist who is as friendly and kind as she is effective at getting to the root of a concern or issue.
Melinda is very knowledgable and is a very good listener. The best thing I found was she is adaptive, listened to my current and past situation and provided helpful tips, tools and tasks to systematically overcome my issues. I would recommend her.
Melinda is so knowledgeable in a variety of areas. She intently listened to me and offered very helpful and applicable tips. I would highly recommend her!
I could not have asked for a more supportive and caring therapist! We were able to build such a strong and trusting relationship which made it seem like I have known her for years. I cannot thank her enough for her help and anyone would be lucky to work with her!
Melinda is amazing and is helping me beyond what I thought I could get from a therapist.
Melinda has truly empowered me to develop healthy coping skills, improving my quality of life. Before I was able to talk with Melinda, I felt so alone and helpless. She allowed me space to share, without making me feel ashamed about sharing my story. It been a weight lifted off of my chest. She has empowered me to live a healthier, more satisfying life. She also has recommended relevant books/workbooks for further discovery.
Melinda has helped me navigate my identity to accept myself for who I am and how I can change myself.
Because of my sessions with Melinda, I can no longer conceive of a time when I did not participate in therapy. I feel much better after these last few months.
Melinda is so supportive and helpful. She challenges me but also helps me. I am so happy to have her!
I've worked with Melinda for over a year and it's been a very helpful process. She is kind, caring, and great to work with. Definitely recommended.
Melinda is kind, open, and very easy to talk to. Talking to her feels like talking to your best friend who understands you and gives the best advice. During a session, she shares invaluable and creative tips and tricks to cope with various situations. It is easy to relate to her and apply the strategies at home and work.
I’ve changed so much in the past few months in the best way thanks to BetterHelp and Melinda. I’m so grateful.
She’s amazing, she cares and takes the time to REALLY listen and provide feedback. She’s also very flexible with her schedule which I appreciate immensely.
Melinda has been incredibly helpful and is an amazing therapist. Not only is she very easy to talk to, she offers a space that is very welcoming and comfortable. In just a few sessions, she has already been able to help me a lot and has given me great resources to help me in different areas of my life. I highly recommend Melinda and am grateful that I’ve been able to work with her.
She is amazing that really takes the time to listen and care about what’s going on. I love this experience & would recommend her 10/10!
