Melanie Wen Fang Maddox, ASW, MA
Bio
Hey there! I’m Melanie, and I’m here to support you through life’s ups and downs, especially if you’re part of the incredible AAPI BIPOC communities, where cultural and societal pressures can sometimes feel overwhelming. Growing up biracial in vibrant Singapore and later moving to California when I was just 11, I’ve experienced firsthand the twists and turns that life can throw our way.
Are you experiencing trouble focusing, feeling on edge, or dealing with physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches or muscle tension? Do you feel lost navigating through work, school, or relationships?
Now more than ever, individuals are uncertain about finding their place in life and overcoming challenges. At Healing Connections Counseling, we understand the complexities you face and offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can authentically explore your emotions and experiences.
I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live better, and I’m here to help you navigate through these challenges. My tailored strategies, including EMDR and evidence-based therapies, are designed to guide you through your healing journey. My inclusive and holistic approach ensures you receive the support needed to move forward and discover joy in your growth.
Beyond therapy, I find solace in nature, often exploring the great outdoors with my partner and our furry companions. If you’re ready to embark on your journey of healing and growth, I’m here to accompany you every step. Let’s navigate this journey together toward a brighter future.
Let’s Connect!
