For over 20 years I have been a coach and therapist helping people change patterns in their lives that interfere with their health and happiness. I will help you learn how to connect to your inner wisdom, courage, and strength rather than your negative inner voice.

I opened my private practice over 25 years ago after completing graduate training as a clinical psychologist.  Specializing in psychotherapy and in couples therapy,  it has been a privilege to work with my clients and I value the years of experience.  Because of my conviction that the practice of psychotherapy needs to incorporate what science is discovering about the brain, I have added a specialization in EMDR and I have been impressed by its results.

Is your child anxious, sad, or angry? Are you thinking that your child should "be over this by now" or is reacting way out of the norm? Children have many worries and fears. Some of these come from traumatic experiences.

“Feeling stuck in disturbing feelings like anxiety and nervousness? Anger or depression? Guilt or shame? Worry, fear or even panic? Finding it hard to keep self-esteem up as you keep thinking discouraging thoughts, like: “I’m just not good enough”? I can’t succeed”?

Contrary to common belief, it isn’t necessary that we have the same struggle or experience in order to help others with their particular issues. However it does help that we too have experienced suffering and healing to appreciate and understand the inner process by which limitation is transformed into personal power. The term “wounded healer” is used to describe such a person.

Your life expectations – are they realistic?  Are they based on faith, hope and love, sound principals, practical lifestyle, safe people and adequate self-care? Do you attract healthy people into your life? Can you identify healthy and safe people from those who are not?

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision. My goal is to offer you a safe and nurturing relationship from our first phone contact. I value the courage it takes to begin to heal and grow.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years experience in the field and 20 years in private practice. 

Are you feeling overwhelmed or troubled? Do you feel that life is passing you by?  Ever wished that you felt more confident about yourself? Would you like to be more grateful for the good you do have in your life? Do you get hopeful but wind up being discouraged too often?

If you are struggling with a past trauma, are experiencing troubles in a relationship, are having difficulty making it through your day, or are unable to achieve peak performance in your work or athletic environments, I would like to work with you. 

My most important role as a therapist is to empower you to discover what works and change what doesn’t, helping you to find your own truth and path. My style is gentle, yet potent. Using EMDR as a highly effective tool, I help you to release negative patterns and beliefs, allowing more compassion and clarity for situations and yourself, and building of positive resources and strengths.

As a registered nurse and a licensed marriage, family and child therapist,
Melodee Arnold has more than 35 years of experience counseling individuals, groups, families and couples. She has provided therapy to people of many different cultures and backgrounds and conducts therapy in English or Spanish.

I believe that people grow through relationships. In the therapeutic relationship, it is the connection and comfort level between the client and the therapist that facilitates growth and change.

Are you looking for a seasoned therapist with an unusual blend of deep compassion, laser-like ability to pinpoint the key issues and expertise in some of the most rapid deep change methods available today?

How are some able to move on, where others cannot? I invite you to explore your personal feelings and thoughts to discover purpose and direction for growth in your life.

Taking the first step to get help is often the most difficult but also the most crucial. Just know that there is HOPE for healing! I would like to work with you to transform dependencies into love for life, and anxieties into rhythm! Please call or email me to discuss your situation in detail and determine whether we could embark on a healing journey together.
