Melanie Kohn, LCPC
I truly care about connecting and listening to peoples’ stories. I'm committed to providing a down-to-earth, compassionate, yet challenging approach of guiding people toward learning how to trust themselves. I know it can be scary and uncomfortable to uncover the truth to ourselves, but the process of HOW we unravel our truths is how we can feel free.
I understand what it’s like to feel unsure and anxious about how to manage the pressures circulating around you, or pressures that are self-imposed. I aspire to debunk the myth of perfectionism, as I see the “not enoughness” has become pervasive in society from all ages.
As a way to lessen the pressure, I enjoy using humor and metaphors, along with boundaries and challenging with compassion, to emphasize safety, trust, rapport, and respect in this space.
Doing my own healing has allowed me to see that you have the power to create your own truth(s), in spite of the pressures surrounding you. You are the expert of your own experiences, and I am honored to be a witness and guide to your story.
