About Melinda
Melinda Matney is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at helping someone take practical steps toward feeling better.
She uses a client-centered style that focuses on respect and compassion. Sessions are interactive and shaped around each person's needs rather than one fixed plan. Melinda does not endorse stigmatizing labels and aims to meet people where they are in their journey.
Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral methods with mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance skills. That combination helps with managing intense feelings, reducing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building steady coping tools for day-to-day life. She also incorporates holistic and client-centered perspectives when appropriate.
Melinda has worked with a wide range of concerns, including relationship matters, healthy sexuality, career fatigue, addiction, and physical or emotional trauma. Over her career she has supported people dealing with severe mood changes and the fallout of loss or abuse.
If someone is ready to make a change, she aims to offer supportive guidance and practical strategies. Prospective clients start by using the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling based on therapist availability.
