About Melina 

I was born in Treinta y Tres, Uruguay. My family immigrated to the United States in 2001, where I was raised in South Florida. Once I decided to go after my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Adam's State University, I made Colorado my home as some of the nature aspects reminded me of my roots. I find my passions lie in creative arts, dance, painting, nature, and music and I keep these in mind when creating treatment with clients. I continue to work daily on my own authentic life and hope to help others find their happiness.

My Approach

My personal life experiences have often not fallen within the box of societal expectations. From my upbringing as an immigrant to my discovery of creative passions, learning to live authentically according to my own definition of happiness and growth and moving away from shame and guilt of not fulfilling expectations has been my journey. I strive to create a space of non-judgement, radical acceptance, and unconditional positive regard to meet you wherever you are at, hear you, and facilitate your personal journey. Together, we can explore your inner world and rewrite the stories you may have been living in pre-defined by shame, trauma, culture, stigma, and external expectations. You are free to be YOU. We will find comfort in the shared human experience and create space for the possibilities of growth far beyond the walls built to protect yourself but which are no longer serving you.
