Melica Ladd, SMFT

As a psychotherapist with a background in functional medicine health coaching, I believe that the body, mind, and spirit are intimately intertwined. Because of this interconnectedness, it is possible for all of us to heal our internal and external systems when we are given the space and compassion for our nervous system to regulate.

I work primarily from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective while incorporating other approaches to fit each client’s preferences and unique needs. I also have a special interest in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and incorporate that lens in my work with clients as well. As each of us possesses innate wisdom and we are all the experts on our own lives, my role as a therapist is to act as a guide, creating a safe and supportive space for you to connect with and explore the wisdom within as you move towards lasting change.

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to address a variety of concerns related to depression, anxiety, stress management, self-confidence and self-compassion, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, healthy communication, sexuality, sex and intimacy, polyamory, spirituality, trauma, grief/loss, and pet loss. I would be honored to work with you.
