Melinda Garabedian, Ph.D.

I believe that each person has the capacity to grow emotionally and create satisfying relationships both with themselves and others. I do this by addressing and resolving old pain and paying attention to the ways in which you continue to be stuck in patterns of behavior that no longer bring a desired response from the world. I am psychoanalytically trained and bring in your past experiences only as much as they continue to influence your present life. I will also help you address any crises and ongoing issues you are struggling with.
I have 25 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and bereavement as well as childhood trauma. I focus on your internal world of thoughts and feelings and guide you through the process of emotional expression which is essential in creating healthy relationships and personal success.
I work with adults in individual, couple and family therapy sessions teaching and guiding in appropriate verbal expression of thoughts, feelings and desires. I encourage the capacity for understanding of both self and other which allows for healing and frees up emotional and physical energy to create life dreams.
