Melanie Dosen

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in supporting neurodivergent individuals and those with chronic health issues with a neuroaffirming approach. Living with a chronic condition–anxiety, depression, Autistic or ADHD burnout, medical trauma, chronic illness, to name a few–can feel exhausting, overwhelming, and relentless. Taking care of yourself and getting through the day can feel like a job in and of itself. Finding a way to support your own unique body, brain, and experience is crucial to navigating life with a chronic condition. You are not broken, but you may not feel whole. I offer individual in-person and telehealth therapy to adolescents and adults who would like a strengths-based, integrative approach to managing their chronic conditions or neurodivergent experiences. I support clients with nervous system-focused work that helps them gain a deeper understanding of their own experiences, stories, and relationships. Are you feeling burnt out by previous approaches and systems? Even though you may share a diagnosis with millions of other people, your story and your needs are unique to you. Let’s do something different together. Specialties: I work with anyone who experiences anxiety, depression, and other symptoms of neurodivergent burnout or the challenges of living with chronic illnesses. We start with looking at your relationship to yourself, your brain, and your body. Together, we use that insight to help develop tools to help alleviate whatever burnout symptoms you are facing and navigate the ups and downs of life. Credentials & Experience: I have been working with the Neurodivergent community in a professional and paraprofessional capacity for over 15 years.
