Dr. Elizabeth A. Mellin

I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re here, you’re likely carrying the weight of past trauma, family conflict, or questioning deeply held beliefs. Maybe you’ve faced childhood neglect, family dysfunction, sexual trauma, or the oppressive influence of a high-control religious community. These experiences can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, or disconnected from yourself and those you care about. But healing is possible; you don’t have to navigate this alone. As a sex-positive queer therapist, I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ souls and women who are ready to move beyond pain and reclaim their lives. Whether your struggles stem from family, faith, or past relationships, the impact on your sense of self can be profound. The effects of trauma and toxic stress can show up as ADHD, addiction, anxiety, chronic health issues, codependency, depression, gastrointestinal problems, headaches, low self-esteem, numbness, or shame. However, we can create space for healing, relief, and growth with warmth and compassion. Therapy offers a safe and supportive environment to explore the ways trauma and stress have shaped your life. Our work will be at your pace, and together, we’ll help you reconnect with yourself, manage overwhelming emotions, and start to trust your inner wisdom again. My approach is rooted in the belief that you deserve to feel whole and free, no matter what you’ve been through. Healing is just the beginning. Our work together will also focus on rediscovering your passions, embracing your true self, and creating a life filled with joy and meaning. Whether you’re deconstructing harmful beliefs, navigating family challenges, recovering from sexual trauma, or reconnecting with your desires, I’m here to support your journey toward a more empowered and vibrant life. As a fellow sturdy survivor, I invite you to reach out if this speaks to you. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and valued. Together, we’ll create a space where healing and growth can flourish and where you can begin to truly thrive.
