Hi, I'm Dr. Melody Lavian, a licensed psychologist specializing in working with children, teens, and families. I’m passionate about supporting clients with developing tools to improve their well-being, as well as helping families reduce stress in the home and strengthen relationships. I use a warm, empathetic, and evidence-based approach to help clients develop insight into patterns that aren’t working well and build healthy coping and communication skills. When I'm not working or spending time with family, I love reading, writing, cooking and baking, and working on Disney themed jigsaw puzzles! Are you seeking support for your child's behavior? Is your child nervous or anxious about going to school? Perhaps your child is having trouble making or keeping friends, or focusing in class has become more difficult lately. My goal as a psychologist is to partner with your family to understand what’s getting in the way, offer guidance and clarity, and build practical, effective tools that help your child feel more confident, regulated, and able to truly thrive. I look forward to working with you!
