Melody Fortenberry, PhD, LMFT
About
As both a psychologist and marriage and family therapist, my goal is to help you and your loved ones uncover the obstacles that interfere with living a happy, productive and well functioning life - a life that is worth celebrating. While I can't change difficult situations from the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life whether that is depression, anxiety, anger, feeling unloved or inadequate. Some of this may have resulted from a death, divorce, trauma, dysfunctional relationships, abuse, attention deficit disorder, or stress to name just a few. As a result of forty-five years in practice, I integrate various complementary therapy approaches and techniques. I help you to unearth the long-standing behavioral patterns and negative perceptions and feelings that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
