Meet Melanie

And her thoughtful, clinically informed approach to support.

Melanie Kaplan is a Board Certified Life Coach and Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LP).

Counseling work is grounded in professional training, ethical standards, and an understanding of the emotional patterns, experiences, and behaviors that can shape how someone feels and moves through life.

A place to understand

What lies beneath.

The work is individualized and grounded in the needs and goals you bring into the room.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and having a clear understanding of what to expect can make that first step easier. Sessions are designed to provide a supportive, safe space where you can explore what is happening in your life, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and develop actions for meaningful change.

I offer an initial free consultation!

Therapeutic approaches

Evidence-Informed

Person-Centered

A collaborative relationship grounded in empathy, respect, and the belief that you are an active participant in your own growth.

Solution-Focused

Attention to strengths, resources, goals, and practical movement toward meaningful change.

CBT & DBT-Informed

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy are evidence-based approaches that help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can begin responding to life differently. CBT and DBT help you to recognize patterns that keep you stuck, develop balanced ways of thinking, manage difficult emotions, and respond with greater intention. Practical tools you can use both in and beyond therapy help you build greater emotional resilience. The goal is not simply to manage what feels difficult today, but to help you develop a deeper sense of self-understanding, emotional flexibility, and confidence that carries into everyday life.

What to Expect

A clear path from first contact to meaningful work.
