Dr. Mellen has been providing counseling and evaluation services to adults, adolescents and children in a greater Phoenix and Scottsdale area for over 30 years.
Clients are often referred to Dr. Mellen through other clinical professionals but may also be referred through attorneys, pastors, relatives and friends. New clients may also be self-referred. Dr. Mellen is committed to making a difference in the lives of her clients and realizes that it is important to “get it right” when selecting a mental health professional to provide counseling services for themselves, their children or their family or to a complete psychological evaluation.
It is helpful when choosing a psychologist to work with you, with your family members, with your student or employee or with your client to review the provider’s qualifications and experience carefully and whenever possible take advantage of opportunities to briefly consult with the provider who you are considering. Dr. Mellen can be contacted by telephone or email in order to schedule a brief phone meeting to learn more about her services and if your needs are a good match.
When seeking therapy services from a psychologist you also want to be certain the provider integrates evidence from studies of patient care with clinician expertise and experience. Dr. Mellen’s approaches to treatment are selected to both meet the needs of her clients as well as increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome. With effective treatment interventions a client and/or family members should begin to enjoy life more fully, often times consider issues in new ways and when it is adaptive to do so, behave differently.
