Dr. Melanie Love
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
You're everyone's rock, but lately it's heavy carrying that weight. You've been let down before when you've asked for help, so you've learned to manage alone.
​
But you're tired of feeling numb and stressed. You wish everyone could see how hard you're working. You've built a life you're proud of. So why does it feel like you're just struggling to survive?​
I'm here to help. I specialize in working with men who want to feel better, reconnect with your purpose, and strengthen your relationships.​
​
You don't have to muscle through it anymore. Reach out today to get started.
Does This Sound Like You?
Everyone has always relied on you. You take on as much you can but lately you're overwhelmed. You're struggling to lean on friends or your partner. You worry they'd see you as weak or a burden. Maybe you've tried to open up but felt judged or misunderstood. You want to find relief, to turn your mind off and sleep without substances, to not be so shut down.
​
From a young age, you’ve pushed down your emotions and hidden what's really going on in order to take care of others. The world around you has told you to "Suck it up" and "Be strong."
But now it's tough to know how you feel and even harder to trust that anyone cares. It's like you're wearing a mask, even around loved ones. You've been trying your hardest, but you've gotten as far as you can by yourself.
​
As a licensed psychologist specialized in men's mental health, I'll help you figure out a new way to be strong. You don't have to bury everything underground to survive anymore. I'll help you connect with emotions so you can manage your mood with ease and build stronger relationships with the people who matter most.​
I'm glad you're here.
Here's how therapy with me will help:
​​​​​
​From my professional training, including co-authoring the book “Secrets and Lies In Therapy” (APA, 2019), my expertise is helping you feel comfortable getting to the heart of issues, especially if that's been tough or even impossible in the past. If you’ve felt misunderstood and criticized before, you'll have a different experience with me. Our sessions will provide you with the deep relief of feeling understood and accepted. This will translate outside of therapy into improved well-being, including feeling capable to deal with whatever comes your way and expressing yourself with ease. You'll find it easier to feel both independent and supported.
​
Therapy with me is an investment in yourself, and the work you put into our sessions will be tangible and transformative. Y​ou’ve been figuring it out alone long enough. Let's work together to make sure you feel fulfilled and fully present in the life you've worked so hard to build.
​
I look forward to connecting with you. ​
I'll be an active, compassionate guide in helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that have gone hidden so that you could survive. When you can build a more authentic relationship with yourself, you'll feel more confident and more connected in your relationships. I can also help you craft a customized toolbox to deal with difficult emotions, drawing from my experience with mindfulness, behavioral, and somatic approaches.​​
Like any relationship, therapy works best when it is the right fit. Please reach out to schedule a time to talk. We'll go over your needs and goals and I'll answer any questions you have.

It takes strength to reach out. I'll respond within a day when you do so we can get started.
