Solasta Inclusive Therapy, PLLC: Melony Burns, LCSW, LICSW

Well done on taking the first step in a journey toward wellness. The most important aspect of therapy is finding a person who makes you feel safe and heard. I want to help you discover strengths and skills to empower you on a daily basis. I enjoy working with and understanding folx from their perspective and encouraging them to grow and explore who they are and wish to develop into. I provide a safe space and allow you to explore and find your ground so that you let your own light in. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California and Washington states.
