Melanie Lane Reese, LMFT

Melanie Lane Reese, LMFT I am a Licensed Trauma Therapist and Consultant, providing holistic mental health services in Nashville, TN and beyond (telehealth).

I strive to create an environment in my practice that is nonjudgmental, safe and nurturing. This gives way for conversations and healing that often would not take place. I mainly work with teens, young adults and women. Areas of focus include trauma, migraines, anxiety, depression and managing life transitions. Typical issues can include self-esteem/self-identity, self-harm, personal growth, divor

ce/divorce adjustment and parenting concerns, among other things. Everyone has a unique story to tell. As a therapist, it is my goal to walk along side each individual to help them discover, learn and grow from that story. Not everyone fits into a "formula" for therapy. I enjoy getting to know each client and utilizing different approaches that best suit their needs. I believe that effective therapy offers a space to reflect, gather insight, learn skills to cope with the issues at hand and to feel heard. I use an integrative and individualized approach that may involve examining the past and connecting to present feelings or conflicts to previous relationships or experiences. For others, therapy consists of learning new skills to cope with stress and difficult emotions in the present. My goal is always to meet my clients where they are and to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore and grow from their experiences. I appreciate you taking the time to consider me as your therapist. If you have any questions about the therapy process or would like to make an appointment, please contact me and I will get back to you promptly. I look forward to speaking with you!
