Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The suffering and symptoms causes by trauma and neglect are not a life sentence. Decades of trauma research shed light on the mind-body's natural capacity to heal and grow through incident as well as complex trauma. Talk therapy can be limited because it misses the fundamental that trauma is held in the body. Restoration requires understanding the degree of under-development in the nervous system functioning, bringing compassion for the embodied habits of survival that have become maladaptive in your life today. Shelly will guide you with neural based interventions that can restore the felt sense of safety in the body, releasing the feelings of being trapped. You may then find the empowerment to engage with your emotional system to integrate your past so you can live in the present.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who have experienced trauma or continue to feel affected by overwhelming or distressing events. Trauma can shape emotional experience in ways that include anxiety, emotional numbing, intrusive memories, or difficulties with trust and safety in relationships.
My work is grounded in the belief that traumatic experiences require careful and respectful attention over time. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to approach these experiences gradually, allowing individuals to develop understanding and meaning without pressure to revisit experiences before they feel ready. As the impact of trauma becomes more understandable, individuals often experience greater emotional stability and freedom in their relationships and daily lives.
I also work with couples when the effects of trauma influence intimacy or communication within the relationship.
