Melinda Padmore

Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina. In 2014, I graduated from Kean University in New Jersey with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have over 5+ years of counseling experience from working in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment programs, therapeutic foster care and outpatient counseling settings. I specialize in treating children, adolescents and adults, depression, anxiety, anger management and addictions. I use a client-centered approach, integrating cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing therapy techniques. I aim to help my clients gain a new perspective of viewing their challenges while learning healthy coping mechanisms to maximize their mental, physical and emotional well-being.
