Melody Wollgren, LCSW

I am committed to offering and fostering a supportive environment that allows for individuals to live and thrive in authentic and genuine ways. My ongoing goal is to challenge my own assumptions, privileges, and prejudices in order to grow and learn. I strive to offer engaging and thoughtful dialogues to assist others with doing the same. I believe introspection, critical thinking, exploration, and ultimately, empathy are critical for growth and compassion. I support communities who have been systemically disenfranchised and harmed and hope to assist in change in both small and large scale pursuits.

I have extensive experience with veterans and individuals who have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse/assault.
