Monica Melchor, LMFT

Hello and welcome!

 

Taking the first step to seek support and find healing takes real courage, and I want to acknowledge that you’ve already made it this far. That matters! 

 

In this space, you belong and I am here to listen, guide, and walk alongside you. Building genuine, trusting relationships with the families and individuals I work with is at the heart of my work. My hope is that together, we’ll create a space for identity exploration and growth, one that helps you build a healthier relationship with yourself and with the people you love. I approach therapy like a book, in which you get to decide which chapter to open, and I believe you have the power to create and decide what the rest of your story will look like.

 

My approach to therapy is through a strength-based, trauma informed, relational and neurodiversity-affirming lens. My specialty and passion is working with children, teens and families. I am also fluent in Spanish and English.

 

Specialities: 

I have experience supporting clients with ADHD, Autism, Executive functioning difficulties, Sensory sensitivities and Processing differences, Anxiety, Depression, Family systems and Relational dynamics.

 

I recognize that family systems are culturally diverse and complex. It is my hope to meet you and your family where you’re at! Literally and figuratively — which is why I also offer in-home and community-based sessions in addition to traditional office visits.

 

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and received my Master’s of Science Degree at San Diego State University. I am originally from the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Oregon, where I completed my undergraduate degree. I have experience in working in a variety of settings including, in-home based therapeutic counseling, residential treatment centers for teens and school-based mental health services where I provided bilingual therapy for children and families. I am immensely passionate about my work in the mental health field because I believe many of us were taught to solely survive and not taught how to heal. Remember, you are not alone. Let’s start your journey together.
