Charlene Melvin-Shaw, LCMHCA

If you, your child or teen is struggling with sadness, worry, overwhelm, school challenges, behavior concerns, or the impacts of trauma, I am here to help. My passion lies in helping you identify your challenges, understand your emotions, and discover healthy ways to move forward.

I take a holistic, compassionate approach to meet you exactly where you are. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play Therapy, I work to create a safe and supportive space where you can express yourself, develop coping skills, and build confidence.

Whether you or your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or simply having a hard time adjusting to life changes, meaningful support is possible—and healing can begin. Life can feel confusing and heavy, and no one should have to navigate those feelings alone.  Reach out today to schedule your first appointment and take the next step toward hope and growth.
