Introduction

Hello! My name is Melinde Coleman. I go by Mel (she/they pronouns). I’m an LPC-A in Torrington, CT. I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2020, and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2026! I work with folks from late teens (18) to our senior folks (65+). I currently see individuals, groups and couples! I bring a strong commitment to advocacy, inclusivity, and culturally responsive practice — with a particular passion for serving LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and chronically ill communities, communities which I am proudly part of. I’ve found that therapist or counselors who are both chronically ill and have that lived experience are vastly underrepresented. I’m one of many but I am here to help. Some of the topics I cover are grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and medical trauma. I know it’s hard to find someone who gets it. I want to be the person who gives you that full toolbox, helps you find the light you need and can sit there with you in the dark and chaos.
