About Melanie Hendricks
Over more than two decades in practice, she has worked with conditions that range from adjustment difficulties to serious and persistent mental illness. Her practice includes deep specialization in intimacy and sexual health issues, grounded in the belief that adults have the right to fulfilling and healthy sexual lives and that sexual concerns are an important part of overall wellbeing. She has provided treatment for challenges such as compulsive sexual behavior and pornography-related difficulties, painful intercourse, and sexual dissatisfaction.
She is a Fellow of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, an international organization focused on prevention and on research and treatment related to those who have abused. Melanie has also supported many survivors of sexual abuse and interpersonal violence, and she is a nationally rostered trauma clinician with significant experience helping people manage symptoms of post-traumatic stress, depression, and related relationship and intimacy problems.
Clinically, she brings an easy-going yet direct and compassionate style to her work. She typically draws from two main frameworks: cognitive-behavioral approaches that examine the links among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and help reframe unhelpful core beliefs, and a systems perspective that explores a person s role within the interconnected relationships and contexts that shape behavior.
Her goal is to create a therapy experience where clients feel heard, respected, and valued. Melanie emphasizes collaborative feedback, viewing the client as the central agent of change while she provides guidance and support. She looks forward to working with clients to identify goals and take steps toward improved functioning and wellbeing.
