Amanda Melian, LCSW
SPECIALIZING IN THE TREATMENT OF TRAUMA, PERINATIAL AND POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
Hello, Let's Connect
Kaiser, Providence, Pacific Source, Moda, BCBS
It is my joy and privilege to hold space for folks seeking to heal. If you have noticed that your worries are interfering with your life, that you have changed since something bad or overwhelming happened to you, or that you are not recovering emotionally after giving birth, I am here to help you. I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, recovering from trauma, pushing toward burnout, or navigating perinatal mood disorders like postpartum depression. I employ an empowerment model utilizing client-centered approaches to therapy, meaning you are at the helm of your own treatment when you are with me. Outside of work, I am a life-long animal lover who enjoys riding horses, playing video games, reading fantasy books, and spending time with my beloved puppers.

My Belief about the work
I believe that you are the expert in your own experience, and it is my job to help you explore that experience, be curious about yourself, and create ways for you to meet your own goals in our work together. When you are with me, you can expect my undivided attention, my unconditional positive regard, and my unwavering commitment to providing you with a safe space to rediscover your own strength, courage, wisdom, and wholeness.
