COUNSELING BY MELODY

MELODY J. ANDERSON LCSW

 For over 30 years I have dedicated myself to ease the suffering of my clients as they face the many challenges in life. I provide support, comfort and effective solutions for those coping with overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, mental illness, couple and family discord, career shifts, workplace pressures, financial insecurities, health issues, life transitions, parenting struggles, aging concerns and grief. I also work with clients who have a desire to deepen their spiritual lives.

 I specialize in treating those struggling with trauma and addictions and also treat the ones who love them. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and New York. I offer my expertise to individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents. I do not take insurance.

 I also provide pre- and post-marital counseling, with a focus on couples in recovery from addictions. I guide them to incorporate the 12-Step program and principles into their wedding ceremonies and married life.

If you, or someone you know is struggling with any of these issues, I encourage you to reach out to me. My private practice is in the West Los Angles area and I also work on Zoom and Skype.

Together, we can embark on a journey towards creating a life filled with purpose, inner peace and joy.
