Meet Dr. Jennifer Melo

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who treats adults in Bethesda, MD and Washington DC. I am also authorized to practice virtual psychotherapy in over 40 states. I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy and work collaboratively with clients to first understand what brings them to therapy and then together pave the road to healing.

Are We A Good Fit?

Many people I work with have tried to handle things on their own for a long time before seeking therapy.

Everyone’s experience is unique, but there are some common patterns I often see in the people who come to work with me.

You might be a good fit if:

● You’ve been trying to manage things on your own for a long time, even when it feels difficult internally

● You often feel like you’re “white knuckling” your way through day-to-day life

● Tasks like work, daily responsibilities, or caring for yourself can feel overwhelming

● Relationships feel complicated, stressful, or hard to navigate, especially when it comes to communication or conflict

● You struggle with loneliness or finding a sense of connection with others

● You’ve lost touch with parts of your life that once felt meaningful or fulfilling

●You sometimes feel disconnected from yourself or the world around you

● Past experiences or trauma continue to affect you, even if they happened a long time ago

● You have a desire to better understand yourself and make sense of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns

If you see yourself in any of these experiences, therapy can be a space to begin making sense of them at your own pace.

When you feel ready, you’re welcome to schedule a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk through what’s bringing you in and see if working together feels right.
