Melany Barr-Patz
Remote Child and Family Therapist

Melany currently offers telehealth services to kids, tweens, and their parents. She provides play therapy, individual therapy, parent consultations, and parenting workshops including Bringing Baby Home. She is passionate about supporting individuals and families in their quests for greater fulfillment and wellbeing.

She particularly enjoys working with neurodivergent families, and approaches her work from a neuro-affirming and strengths-based perspective. 

Prior to becoming a counselor, Melany was a preschool and elementary school teacher. She carries much of what she enjoyed about teaching into her work as a counselor, focusing especially on building relationships that nurture and encourage. She tailors her approach to match individual needs and values.

Melany is trained in EMDR and play therapy including AutPlay Therapy. She provides child therapy through an online platform called Teleo, which allows her clients to engage in the play therapy process from the comforts of their own home. 

As a Franco-American, Melany is bilingual and happy to provide services in English or French.

Melany is a registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (#15275, supervised by Amanda Campbell, LMFT #50600).
