About
Melissa McGlothren
I believe the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most powerful parts of the healing process. When you enter this space, you will be met with empathy, authenticity, and a genuine commitment to understanding your story. My goal is to create a place where you feel safe enough to be real, explore your experiences, and move toward meaningful change.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, and trauma-related experiences. I also support women through all phases of reproductive mental health, from the emotional complexities of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, to the shifting landscape of hormonal and identity changes that can occur across the lifespan. I have a special interest in working with women navigating midlife, including the often-overlooked transitions of perimenopause and menopause.
Through compassionate and collaborative work, my hope is to help you reconnect with your resilience, gain clarity, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, grounded, and aligned.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

As a trauma therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate both single-event traumas and complex trauma, including attachment injuries. I utilize a range of trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, Ego State/Parts Work, Somatic Processing, and Brainspotting to support healing at a deeper, integrative level.
Whether you're working through a specific incident or the lasting impact of developmental or relational trauma, I am passionate about holding space that is supportive, gentle, and compassionate—an environment where your unique needs and goals are honored. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
Women’s Reproductive Health
Women’s reproductive mental health deserves thoughtful, informed, and compassionate care. From preconception to conception, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause—each phase of a woman’s reproductive journey holds unique emotional and psychological challenges.
I specialize in supporting women through these transitions with trauma-informed therapy modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Ego State/Parts Work, and Somatic Processing. These approaches allow for deep healing, regulation, and reconnection to self.
Whether navigating fertility struggles, postpartum anxiety, hormonal shifts, or the emotional complexity of menopause, you don’t have to do it alone. With the right support, healing is possible—and thriving is within reach.
