Melanie Richardson

LCSW, Clinical Director & Owner

I have been practicing since 2013 after earning my Master’s in Social Work from Northwest Nazarene University. Over the years, I’ve pursued advanced training to better serve my clients, earning certifications in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method for couples therapy.

My professional journey has included meaningful roles such as Behavioral Health Consultant for the Idaho National Guard, member of the Idaho Behavioral Health Planning Council, and mediator for the Idaho Supreme Court in family and child custody cases. I take great pride in supporting the military, veterans, and first responders—populations I continue to serve with deep respect and commitment. I was honored to be named 2025/26 VP for the Utah NASW Board of Directors, where I contribute to advancing ethical, inclusive, and high-quality social work practice across the state.

My philosophy is simple: everyone faces challenges, and sometimes professional support can make all the difference. I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking with them through life’s most difficult moments—whether it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. Therapy is about building resilience and finding clarity. At our practice, we have compassionate, skilled therapists who are here to help you navigate uncertainty and move forward with strength and confidence. I’m honored to be part of that journey.
