Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
As one who has suffered extremely complex trauma, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health.

Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, (Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor)
FaithWorks Christian and Family Counseling is a great practice because it is founded upon not only natural ways to help clients heal. This practice offers counseling from a Christian perspective. This means during session, I find ways to include God's Word. For example, upon client's comfortablility, I do offer prayer before and after each session. In session, I point client's to ways that they can receive their healing through making sure to include the wisdom of God in their everyday lives. My motto is that self care along with divine care makes for a prosperous life. When we have both of those things going for us, we can't go wrong. My approach is through the Word of God as well as through solution focused therapy. Solution focused therapy means that I am not the only one providing solutions to the problem. My clients have a hand in brainstorming ways they think they can improve their lives. Therefore, my practice is set up to partner with clients in their healing. My clients know we are in this together. My practice is also run on a negotiable fee scale. My fees are only $80 per session, but I cut that in half if the full price is unaffordable. I do not believe in breaking the bank for anyone, and I don't want people to feel that they can't enroll in therapy due to not being able to maintain the cost of it.

Pre-Licensed Professional, LPC
I approach every therapy session with an open mind and an open heart for your unique experience. I believe healing takes place in the contexts of healthy connections where you feel seen, heard and free to be yourself without judgement. I use a trauma sensitive lens to help teens and adults work though feelings of depression, anxiety, grief and life transitions and family of origin issues. Counseling with a therapist who understands an supports you can help you learn the tools you need to live a better quality of life.
