Hey there, I’m Racheal Melo!
mom, therapist, reader, crafter, animal lover, silly song maker-upper, life-learner, cycle-breaker, nature lover.
A lot of what matters to me, personally and in my work, comes back to learning how to live more intentionally. How to know what’s yours to carry and what isn’t, have boundaries without shutting people out, stay connected to others without losing yourself, and build a life that is authentically yours.
My own journey has helped shape me into a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist. I’m all about being real, meeting you where you’re at, and creating a genuine connection.
If you’re carrying too much, over-functioning in your relationships, giving up your peace to anxiety or OCD, or realizing that the way you’ve always done things just isn’t working anymore, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Therapy can give you a little more breathing room to understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident in the choices you make.
You deserve a life that feels like yours.
lets work on…
-
Academic and Career Stress
So. Much. Pressure.
Pressure to perform, succeed, or "figure it all out" can leave you feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected. Whether you’re a student, young professional, or somewhere in between, lets manage stress, clarify goals, and build a healthier relationship with achievement.
-
Relationships
Whether you're navigating conflict, people-pleasing, or figuring out who you are in the mix, relationships can be complex. Lets build stronger communication, set healthy boundaries, and feel more grounded in your own needs and values.
-
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Stuck in a cycle of obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, rumination? Together, we can challenge those patterns and find peace, step by step.
Lets face your fears!
-
Anxiety
Lets untangle anxious thoughts, understand your triggers, and build practical tools to feel more in control. Together, we’ll work on calming your nervous system, challenging the “what ifs,” and creating more space for ease, confidence, and clarity in your everyday life.
-
Trauma
Trauma can linger, showing up in memories, emotions, and in your body when you least expect it. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers a gentle yet powerful way to find relief without having to relive every detail of your past. With ART, you can process painful experiences, overwhelming emotions, and create new, healing connections in your brain.
-
Parenting Teens
Parenting teens isn’t easy, they’re changing, pushing boundaries and figuring themselves out. I support parents in staying grounded, strengthening connection, and parenting from a place of clarity and confidence. With the right tools and support, you can navigate this season with more calm, compassion, and connection.
-
Mommas
You’re the one holding it all together, but who’s holding space for you? Whether you’re juggling school drop-offs, work deadlines, or the emotional weight of motherhood, I help moms reconnect with themselves, set boundaries that feel good, and release the guilt that says you have to do it all. You deserve support, rest, and a chance to feel empowered-not just as a mom, but as you.
-
Burnout
When you’re burned out, everything feels like too much even the things you used to enjoy. I help people slow down, untangle the overwhelm, and reconnect with what actually fuels them. Together, we’ll work on setting boundaries, honoring your needs, and finding your way back to a life that feels more balanced.
