Jazmin Melendez
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMSW
I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected for who they are and the experiences that have shaped them. As someone who identifies as queer and is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of having spaces where you can show up as your full self without judgment or the need to explain who you are. I value culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and identity-affirming care, and recognize that culture, family, identity, and lived experience are important parts of each person’s story. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, honesty, and humanity, while honoring both the challenges you’re carrying and the strengths that have helped you navigate them. I also believe there should be room for humor and genuine connection in therapy. My hope is that our work helps you feel more understood, connected to yourself, and empowered to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
I work with children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, relationships, identity, stress, neurodivergence, and life transitions. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s happening, feel understood, and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.
