Melanie Kolkin Therapy

Mental health is the core of wellness. If that isn’t cultivated, everything else in life becomes ten times harder. I have been a therapist since 2018 and have broad experience in many areas. I possess excellent communication and rapport-building skills, as well as a strong background in trauma-informed clinical care, research, and advocacy. The most rewarding aspect of being a therapist is the connection I make with clients and the trust they put in me. It is an experience I am both deeply humbled by and truly grateful for. I am licensed to practice in Washington DC and Virginia. If you live in another state and would like to see if we're a good fit, please reach out and we can discuss the options around me obtaining licensure in your state. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my rescue dog (Tova), doing anything outdoors, trying new food, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. Fun Fact: I’ve been skydiving and am terrified of heights, so you can imagine how well that went! Modalities I draw from: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Culturally Sensitive, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gender Affirming Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory
