Meet Melina Linden
Holistic Psychologist
Hi, I’m Melina Linden, a licensed psychologist with a holistic and clinically grounded approach, dedicated to empowering individuals and couples to lead richer, more meaningful lives by integrating mind, body, and spirit. With a diverse background in psychology, yoga, and breathwork, I bring a unique, comprehensive approach to mental wellness, as I believe the only approach, is the holistic approach.
Areas of Focus
Working with Anxiety, Stress, & Low Mood
Stress, anxiety, and low mood can feel heavy and disorienting. Through evidence-based and holistic therapy, I support clients in understanding the underlying patterns contributing to emotional distress and in developing more supportive ways of relating to themselves. This work emphasizes clarity, emotional steadiness, and long-term change.
Personal Growth through Psychotherapy
Personal growth is an ongoing process of self-understanding and transformation. I work with clients who want to deepen their relationship with themselves, address internal obstacles, and develop a more grounded sense of direction.
Therapy supports clearer decision-making, self-trust, and a more intentional way of living.
Relationship Repair and Conflict Resolution through Couples Counseling
Even strong relationships face periods of strain. Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, explore relational patterns, and address conflict with care and responsibility.
The focus is on communication, emotional understanding, and developing healthier ways of relating — both individually and together.

My Approach
My approach integrates evidence-based psychological frameworks with body-centered awareness to support meaningful internal change — not symptom management.
I work with clients who are willing to engage in therapy with intention and responsibility.
This work values continuity, reflection, and commitment over quick solutions. Sessions are designed to support meaningful internal change that carries into daily life — not just momentary relief.
For this reason, I work with a limited number of clients at a time and accept new clients on an application basis.
