Women’s Counselor in Fort Smith, AR
HI, I’M MELANIE.
Through Therapy Intensives and the Soul Wound Protocol©, I help overwhelmed and wounded women rediscover and reclaim their truest selves.
YOU ARE NOT DAMAGED OR BROKEN.
It’s time to heal old wounds and reclaim your future.
At your core, you are whole. But you’ve been taught to see yourself through your pain and trauma. There may be terrible stories from your past, but they do not define you.
I’ll show you how to nurture the parts of yourself that were left in pain. We’ll unleash your inner courage and strength so you can proactively create a life you truly love.

Confused, overwhelmed, or generally feeling lost in life
Full of self-hate or anger over things you’ve said or done

Acknowledge and release what's happened and the ways it might be holding you back
I CAN HELP YOU

ABOUT THERAPY INTENSIVES…
I specialize in Therapy Intensives. These are for women who have experience with traditional therapy and are ready for more rapid healing and accelerated recovery.
In an Intensive Therapy session, you are the only client the therapist will see that day. This is a highly-focused strategy and treatment session that typically takes a full day. Sometimes multiple days in a row.
Rather than working through your struggles for short periods over several weeks, months, or years, Intensive Therapy allows you to experience faster healing with the greatest chance of success.
I’ve conducted over 50 Therapy Intensives and have witnessed the most profound transformations of my career. Intensives are one of the most powerful and efficient ways to get to the heart of the matter and heal it fast.

About Me
I’m a graduate of the University of Arkansas and have been practicing for over 10 years.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor—and the founder of Soul Wound Protocol©—I’m trained in EMDR, sand tray/art techniques, trauma therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’m also available for consulting and speaking opportunities.
On a personal note, I have a 3-legged dog named Rusty. I love hammocking by the river, crafting, and organizing things.
My style
I work hard to be the therapist that my clients feel totally comfortable coming to, kicking off their shoes, and cozying up on the couch. To feel safe digging into the hard parts of their life for true transformation.
I want you to know that I've been there. I’ve had to overcome difficult things, so I understand how it feels to be on the vulnerable side of the couch.
I know how dark and chaotic your inner world can get when operating from a place of shame or self-hate. And I’ve had therapists help me find my way out of the darkness. That’s why I truly believe in the healing and transformative power of therapy. You don’t have to stay stuck.
