I’ve just always taken an interest in resiliency, uplifting and encouraging people so that nothing stops who you are. -Melanie Drayton

explains she’s just giving an assessment, it opens into a therapy session. Melanie’s experiences in school counseling aid in making better inroads with her current clients. All the conversations with children grades K-12 at every developmental level polished her communication skills and made her the qualified counselor she is today. With Family Insight, mental health services are more intricate, and they additionally advise adult clients. She prefers to work with children ages thirteen and up, and she has her own experiences as a wayward teenager to guide her. Looking toward her future, Melanie desires to employ the marriage consultant certification and couples’ counseling

certification she recently received. Someday, she and her husband hope to start an agency for couples’ counseling. That’s not her only dream, though. Melanie wants teen clients of her own and to focus on individual therapy. “Trauma should not hinder you,” she says, “and you can still be a great and dynamic individual who can lead a productive life.”
